Folder Account - but yeah, I see it is likely no longer maintained:

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/folder-account/

I played with it a while back, but never found a real use for it.

Or they just no longer had the time...

This is definitely one of the downsides to the Addon eco-system, but
losing a critical Addon has only happened a few times to me (and I use a
lot of Addons).

Alas, I think it may start happening more now that Firefox has abandoned
the XUL Addon system, which Thunderbird relies on.
