More obvious indicatior which account is selected

I find it a bit difficult to identify exactly which account I have selected. An option to show the selected account with something like a different background block or maybe have the name of the account on the top line next to the Inbox or Folder as shown by the yellow highlight

With multiple accounts currently it is not obvious which account is currently being viewed. Recommend a banner on the right next to the "inbox" (as attached), stipulating which inbox, as may users have many accounts, which is the prime reason for the purchase of the software.

When I choose Unified Account or any of my mail accounts, it is not clear that it has been chosen. Would it be possible to highlight it more prominently. May be show the account selected in a different colour scheme. Highlighting only the icon is not very helpful, which is the current behaviour.

I hope you can incorporate this and make Mail Bird a more wonderful product.
