Hello there! I'm wondering if there is a way to customize a bit more left panel with folders. I'm using Unified view and I like it a lot. 95% of time I would use only Inbox folder and rarely Sent folder, all the other folders I use almost never. I was wondering if there is a way to put all the other folders in one folder that would be called something like "Everything else", so when I once in a while need folder I can click on it and it would expand with Send, Drafts, Archives...

Is there something like that? I found this add on to hide local folders https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/hide-local-folders/ This is not helping much since it only removing local folder and I don't want to completely remove it, I want to hide it and to be able to simply get it back. I found this as well https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032535 which again is not what I'm looking for since it actually explaining how to delete the folders, and I want to hide it.

...and a Saved Search folder for the rest.

Thanks Zenos, It's very close but still not what I'm looking for. If I favorite inboxes from all my 5 accounts i would have something like +xyz@google.com

  -inbox

+xyz@something,com

  -inbox

+xyz@something,com

  -inbox

+xyz@something,com

  -inbox

+xyz@something,com

  -inbox

And I would like: +Inbox

  -xyz@something,com
  -xyz@something,com
  -xyz@something,com
  -xyz@something,com
  -xyz@something,com

So like in Unified view but without extra Sent, Drafts, Archives, local folders...
