No, I do / did not mean the status bar !
Yes, I got it solved:

Under Preferences / Advanced is following line w/button:
Show Expanded Colums in Folder Panel

Marked and got a selection: Well done ! ;-)

Now I really like to find out how to get the accounts always sorted in
their folder pane ! ;-)
With all accounts sorted alpha and accessed with IMAP I have a cool tool
to check / control and manage (clean & clear / eS Pe A eM Management)
them from wanted resp UN-wanted stuff before the mails are downloaded to
their respective recieiving accounts as user !! ;-)

Thank you for helping.
Cheers, svobi
