Problem you are trying to solve
Whenever I open the app drawer, I can see the unread amount for all e-mail accounts, even the ones, I do not want to explcitly see. As most users of the app, I have various e-mail addresses registered, of which some I only want to visit during certain days of the week, like for example the work account, I only want to be bothered about on weekdays.
Suggested solution
Remove https://github.com/thunderbird/thunderbird-android/issues/8300 or make it optional.
Please, remove or make it optional ASAP or tell me how to manually patch it out, without breaking the application. Seeing these numbers drives me insane.

Research direction
Start by reviewing issue 8300 and locating the app-drawer behavior that displays unread counts for all email accounts. Done means the counts can be removed or made optional, with the per-account visibility behavior matching the requested work-account use case.
