If I can make such a request, I tink it would be nice to have the possibility
of separating groups of tabs with separators like used in many types of
toolbars.
Thank you for your very useful tool.

I had that problem too, and worked around it in two different manners:

1) To add space after the Trash folder, I added the following lines to
<profile>/chrome/userChrome.css (replacing <profile> by the SeaMonkey or
Thunderbird profile folder): 

/*
 * add extra space after "Trash" tab or button
 */
#QuickFolders-Toolbar toolbarbutton.trash
  { margin-right:       1.5em           !important
  }

2) To separate mail folders from news folders, I created a "dummy" folder with
a short name, a of Local Folders, which I leave empty; then I dragged it to the
QF toolbar and then to the right place on it, and gave it a distinctive (black)
background.

P.S. userChrome.css doesn't exist by default; you can create it from scratch,
or by copying the userChrome-example.css from the the chrome folder in the
Firefox profile to a chrome folder in the Thunderbird profile (I think there
already is a userChrome-example.css in the SeaMonkey profile/chrome folder)
then copying it again to userChrome.css and editing to your heart's content.

right-click a tab and select

QuickFolders Commands > Insert Separator

to remove it select

QuickFolders Commands > Remove Separator

note that the separator is "bound" to the tab, so if you move the tab
elsewhere, the separator stays in front of it.

Did some styling improvements on the non "flat style" QuickFolders themes. 

Spacing should now also look reasonable with native tabs / pushbuttons / apple
pills / toolbarbuttons looks from the Bling My Tabs > Appearance page.

Thanks Tony for that. 

I am curious - does the fact that the separator (and also the line-break from
[Bug 23039]) is attached to the Tab present a major problem? The thing is

# you cannot drag the separator itself
# when you drag the tab beside it, the separator moves with it
# when you try to move another tab between separator and the attached tab it
moves to the left of it

I guess I am asking because it is actually not easy at all to change this
behavior and I do not want to be shot down in flames as soon as the feature
goes online.

In reply to comment #7:

This behaviour is a little weird compared to the behaviour of all other
toolbars, but IMHO it is not a great hardship since if a separator finds itself
(or ends up) in the wrong place, it can be moved by delete + add.
