<p>I don't think there is too much benefit of sorting folders, but
account order would really be an important feature - usually the
most important accounts are the ones that added later (e.g.
through decommissioning of mail servers) so i guess there
should be a way to put them (or at least one specific, user
elected account) to the top. I regularly get request for a
"auto-collapse tree" feature (maybe something similar to the way
the folder tree is handled in windows explorer, with not every
folder visible / expanded). <br>
</p>
<p>Or automatically collapsing recently visited folders that have
no unread mails left, I am sure there would be ample scope for
improvement without writing a sorting routine. I actually would
re-sorting folders counter-productive and difficult to manage,
but ideally <b>accounts </b>should be able to be re-sorted in
the account manager via drag + drop) . One of the biggest design
problems with the folder tree is the fact that one ends up
scrolling a lot, and that's exactly the reason why I have
stopped using it for navigation and switched to QuickFolders
entirely.<br>

Sorting folders or accounts seems like an advanced feature where most
users are happy with the alphabetic sorting (like most file managers do
too). Adding such a feature needs a lot of UI for a questionable
benefit. So it would be best if an addon did it first so we could then
evaluate it. See <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1359410">https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1359410</a>
where I offered support for allowing an addon to manage the order of the
accounts. It seems to have stalled there, patch for TB is ready, but the
(already existing) addon update didn't come. So in this case please do
not blame the TB core developers.

I assume the price for this is the increased RAM usage :) We inherit all
the rendering layers from Firefox. Also I realy doubt the removal of XBL
and XUL elements and replacing them with pure JS duplicates (Custom
Elements) has any positive impact on RAM usage. I'd guess it is more
wasteful.
We haven't added many features in TB that would answer the doubling of
the RAM usage. But sadly we don't have tests that would catch any such
increase.
