I'd love to see this feature implemented as well. In my case it's mainly interesting for the label list. Some I prefer to have expanded by default, some I prefer to have collapsed by default. With a lot of labels it's a pain to have to do it every time I start Geary.
I have the same problem. Having to expand all the folders for all accounts on every start is tiresome. Especially because there is no way to know if there are unread messages "hidden". Unread counts are only shown on individual labels and not on the parent.
Issues mentioned in the last two comments may be solved by the new sidebar mockup described in bug 730712
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/geary/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
