Use smaller font? :) In fact, if you have so many accounts, you usually forward
most of traffic to a few of them which you keep checking, plain checking 15
accounts would be enough pain. 5-6 accounts would be excess already - but if
you feel like this - maybe a further feature (that would go to the bottom of
the priority list) - Scrolling list of accounts with their contents, or maybe
ICQ-style list (new mail on top). Eventually (is it possible?) a tooltip that
would display details on the mailboxes if you hold your pointer over the icon
long enough. But that are extreme cases, not something to really worry about.
For now limiting this to one line length (variable number depending on the
font) would be quite enough. (in fact don't change the number of accounts
possible to display (fontsize/icon width calculations), just let it get clipped
by app edge.)
