I don't like unified folders, it's too messy. How do i go back?

more options

Hi, I have lots of mail boxes, lots of folders and subfolders, and the unified view is really not useful, lots of the same stuff all around the place. I would like to go back to have one place for each mailbox, everything together.

I read lots of old posts about «view/group/whatever» but i don't find this anymore. I read lots of posts about «account parameters/change to local folders» but i don't have the check box anymore.

I have TB 52.5.2 (32 bits), windows 8.1.

Thanks!

Chosen solution

In the old menu across the top: View|Folders|All

In the new menu, it's even easier: [≡]|Folders|All

If you enable the folder pane toolbar you will get a button across the top of your accounts list that also allows this change of view.

View|Toolbars|Folder Pane Toolbar or [≡]|Options|Folder Pane Toolbar

I flip between views all the time, and so find this button very valuable.
