With the new outliner widget beeing used in MailNews, the account names occupy
only the space of the 'Name' column. If you have several accounts, you can end
up with

yourname@...
yourname@...
yourname@...

so you're not able to tell which is which. I've seen no use for the 'Unread' and
'Total' columns in the account name row, so this shouldn't interfere with
anything else.

Using WinNT and Linux builds 2001090408.
If the accounts "snap into place" again by resizing the pane, this is a dup of
bug 95468.
No, I've resized the columns. But the account name line uses only the width of
the 'name' column, it would be better readable if it occupied all three columns.

If the Unread and Total columns are not needed then removing them should expand
the width of the Name column. You could also resize the folder pane to be wider
then these settings should be saved. Atleast this is how it's working for me on
windows and linux.
Sorry, my english doesn't seem to make things clear enough. Let's 'paint' it:

Now we have something like this:

Name    Unread  Total

you@b...                   <-- unused space
 Inbox       3    205
 Drafts             2
 .
 .

I would like to have something like this:

Name    Unread  Total

you@blamailbox.co.any      <-- all available space used
 Inbox       3    205
 Drafts             2
 .
 .
I've had a look at how XUL works but I couldn't find a way to span a line across
several columns using the outliner.
