Why no feature to organize my many mail accounts in the sidebar?

I have many email accounts in my sidebar of Thunderbird. They are listed from top to bottom according to when I added them on the account settings. But, once they are added, there is no way to organize them from top to bottom. The only way is to delete all my accounts and then add them in the order I want them to appear in the sidebar. The feature I am asking for is something akin to the up/down organizer in Firefox's "Manage Search Engines" customization screen. A simple list of my email accounts, with a "Move Up" and "Move Down" buttons would be perfect. Often, I add new accounts or accounts get hot or lose their immediate usefulness so I'd prefer to bump them up or down accordingly. Why not?

Also, why even bother with an "Inbox" when the email account is right above it? But the only thing that shows when you click on say "example.me@gmail.com" is a silly watered down "Email/Accounts/Advanced Features" list of options I can already perform with either toolbar buttons or a drop-down menu. Waste of space, even though you didn't ask me.  :)
