Below is an example of the current Android Thunderbird presentation.

Also, shown is the current Android Blue mail presentation.

Candidly, I don’t care if the underlying email account is Yahoo, Gmail, Proton, private server, etc.

But, I do wish to click on an email account directly.

Thus, it would be useful to display a user supplied two/three character identity.

How?

Add one more field to the basic account data, wherein the user can input two or three characters to more easily identify one account vs. another.

For various reasons, essentially segmentation of various “classes” of emails. I have multiple accounts. A two or three character identifier would really assist me or anyone to move directly to a target account. Showing my email accounts with a two of three character acronym identifier is far better than multiple accounts displaying YA or GM with only a color to remind server, but NOT which email account.

My email accounts and my identifying characters if the Thunderbird team would accept and implement the foregoing.
