thunderbird actual unified folders layout

Hi, first of all sorry if this place is not the correct place for a feature request. 

Recently I switch to Claws Mail from the memory eating monster thunderbird. I'm happy and pleased with the change and everything works ok, but, I miss a really important feature that thunderbird has, this is the possibility to show inbox (and also sent, trash etc...) unified. The accounts remain independent with the correspondent subfolders in the pane tree but above all exist the option to see all "inbox" at the same time (and also sent...). This is very usefull when for multiple reason one has multiple email accounts (personal, work, blog...). Of course this option would be optional (as in the thunderbird, view->folders->all/unified) and the messages will remain in each account, it's only a modification in the way that the user view the mail list.

I attach a little picture of the actual thunderbird behavior because a picture is worth a thousand words.

I hope that this feature request be taken into consideration for a future versions, I think that would be very useful for a lot of users.

Thanks.
