Description

As per https://connect.mozilla.org/t5/ideas/thunderbird-add-ability-to-manually-sort-order-folders-in-folder/idi-p/39061 but that's only for desktop. In Android it would also be nice to be able to reorder the folders and hide some of them too. Moving food, camping, etc to the top. Spam to the bottom. In fact when we click "manage folders" we're surprised not to be able to find that.

Research direction

Review the linked Mozilla idea and the Android app's "manage folders" flow to determine the existing folder ordering and visibility behavior. Done means users can reorder folders and hide selected folders, including placing folders such as Spam at the bottom and others at the top.
