Description
Steps to reproduce
- In Mail app (desktop), click the three dots next to an account name
- Move cursor down
Expected behavior
The popover menu should remain above account folders.
Actual behavior
The folder names appear above the popover menu sometimes, but not always. It seems to happen when the cursor moves before the popover has finished popping up, but it's hard to tell.

Research direction
Reproduce the overlap in the Mail app desktop interface using Firefox 111.0.1 on macOS, following the listed cursor movement while opening the account menu. Inspect the account folders and popover stacking behavior, especially when the cursor moves before the popover finishes appearing. Done means the popover consistently remains above the folders.
