Tim:

You can move the "accounts thingy" to the right side if you want.  
Click on the "mailboxes" icon at the top of the main mail window.  That 
will bring the accounts drawer (a.k.a. "accounts thingy") back in.  
Then if you move the main mail window (the entire window) to the left, 
so that it is very close to the left side of the screen, then click the 
"mailboxes" icon again, the drawer will open up to the right.
