Not the same as the (deprecated since 1.5 and now) non-existent Shortcut
Bar -- but there is a quick workaround which basically does the same:

* Create one vFolder for every Inbox -- with "Expression" "#t" as the
  only criteria and "specific folders only" <Inbox> as sources.

Then all your Inboxes will align nicely next to each other at the bottom
of your folder tree. You can see the unread count at a glance and deal
with those Inboxes without scrolling.

(Hint: A vFolder name with a "/" will be arranged in subtrees. For
example, name your Inbox vFolder "Inbox/Account-A".)
