Not really, no :) In the case of normal mailboxes the tab already shows the  
mailbox name which contains that. Right ? :)
However, in the case of IMAP folders you get 'INBOX' 'Sent' and stuff like  
that on tabs so if you have 5 IMAP servers you have 5 'INBOX' tabs which can  
get quite confusing. So, at this point the tooltip contains the mailbox url.

Hum, you don't ? :) But it's dead trivial to add a preference to hide them.  
Anyway, I don't think they're intrusive enough to be annoying.
