I use a ton of folders between my 10+ mail accounts. This is great for switching between my 30+ favorite folders, unread mail and all folders. I hated having to go to view->folders-> and select unread, favorites or all. The arrows on the pane view switcher are perfect. I've give this 10 stars if I could.
This review is for a previous version of the add-on (2.0.1).
You rated the add-on 4 out of 5 stars, but you didn't indicate any problem or suggestion that you'd like to see addressed. Help a guy out, tell me what the problem is. I may or may not be able to address it, but I'd like to know. ;-)
I can get the toolbar to show up by following the instructions in a previous response " If the view switcher isn't in the toolbar when you enable it, then right-click on the toolbar, select "Customize...", and add the "Folder Views" tool from the palette"
However that comes up is the standard pull-down list which allows you to switch with 2 clicks. I cannot get the add-on to work as before.
Any ideas?

As it says at https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/folder-pane-view-switcher/, the arrows are gone and at this time there is no way to get them back. The change was out of my control and I don't like it any more than you do.
This is an absolutely must have brilliant add-on. Unfortunately since updating to the latest version of Thunderbird (52.0.1), the Arrows to control which Folder Pane is viewed have disappeared.

I used this add-on all the time, but it seems broken since my update to Thunderbird 52 on Fedora. Using Thunderbird without this add-on is barely acceptable for my since I used the arrows all the time to quickly switch between view. Going to the menu is so devious.

This extension works as advertised but it would be so much more useful if the views were selectable. For example, if I could just rotate between the All Folders and Favorites views and not have to scroll through ALL of the views that would be key.

Quite good, but missing a key feature: the ability to choose what views it switches between.
There are seven of them to scroll through(!), including compact versions of some. I wish I could choose to only switch between, say, All Folders and Favorite Folders, without having to scroll through so many others.
Despite that shortcoming this is a terrific add-on, and replaces a function that for whatever reason was removed from Thunderbird.

Thunderbird のフォルダー・ペイン（窓）ビューを制御できるアイテムです。 ACCOUNTが複数になるとフォルダー・ペインビューが、数多のフォルダーやサブフォルダーだらけになり、管理しづらくなることが悩みですが、このアイテムを使うと「Switcher」がペインビューの上部に表示され、（そのスイッチをクリックすることで）臨機に、瞬時に、（合理的に定義された幾つかのタイプで）表示し直すので、（好みに応じた任意の表示方法で）スッキリと管理することができます。 mail 管理における使い勝手が向上します。推奨します。ぜひ、お試しください！

Hate having to click through two levels of pull-down menus every time you want to switch from All Folders to Favorites or Unified views? This add-on elegantly solves the problem, giving instant access to the folder view options.
Other reviewers have asked for tabs instead of (or in addition to) arrows, but I think it is perfect as-is. Arrows occupy less real estate on the UI, and since navigation wraps around (Recent to All), you never click more than twice to get the view you want.

Once upon a time, Tbird provided TABS to switch between folder sets. I was sad to see that functionality go.
Arrow toggling shaves some time off doing it via dropdown menu, but configurable TABS means you get to the desired folder set with a single click.
Please consider replacing the arrows with tabs. Options which should be included are the ability to select which folder views appear as tabs on the bar and selectable order of their appearance (i.e., unread on first tab, all on second tab, etc.).
Also, for the KB warriors, you could add hotkeys to jump directly to desired folder views.
Thanks for your efforts.

A great addon! A small feature request though. It would be nice if there was a way to configure which views are visible when you click on the arrow buttons. For instance, i would like to hide the "recent" and "unified" views, personally i never use them.
