reduce width of burger menu

[dhebbeker]

In Thunderbird for Android v8.2 I have seen this display of the opened burger menu.

 The readability suffers as too much information is squeezed in a row:

• on the left the icons for account selection, refresh and settings
• on the right the names of the folders

The result is that folder names are more often broken into several lines. 😥

In K9Mail (v6.9) the icons of the left column (account selection, settings) were vertically above and below the folder list. This reduces the necessary total width. Please consider to revert this change. The screenshot above was taken on a big screen with a system font size, bigger than normal (visual impairment 👵👓).

Additional improvement may be achieved by hiding the [Google Mail] or [Gmail] prefix (see Folder naming for Thunderbird mobile).

I love your program, but it would be GREAT to have this change because the folder names are unreadable.
As mentioned in the post, having the menu in one column like in Gmail app would be fantastic.

I love your program, BUT it would be FANTASTIC to have the burger menu in a single column like in the Gmail app.
The folder names are currently unreadable.
A big thank you to the whole team for taking my comment into account 😉
