Thunderbird mail folders

[Doug]

I made two email accounts in thunderbird.If I go to get mail I see the
two accounts.
There are no folders for these accounts,just LocalFolder.How can I get
these account folders to show up with the rest of folders??
I have two news servers,they both show up with their own Folder.

thanks

TB has something called Global Inbox. That means you
can have as many email accounts you want, and they'll
all share the same inbox. Something like Outlook
Express has. The inbox under Local Folders. This is
the default setting when you create the account. Yeah,
I know, really stupid idea.

Unfortuantly, I don't know how to separate them once
you've set it up as global. The only way I know is
remove the accounts, and when you redo them, watch for
the global setting. Its right after you enter your
name and on the screen where you have to enter the pop
or imap address. Its at the bottom.

Thanks for the reply.I was fooling around under settings.I found out how
to sperate each emailaccount. They have there own in box inbox and trash
folder.I added other folders under each acount.The only thing is when
you delete the mail it goes into Local Folders Trash,no biggy just
selete from there.

I can not stand Vista's window mail.You can not set a folder for eah
account.If you want a folder you have to use Hotmail and bring in each
account,what Bullshit.

Thanks Again
