I have more than one email account, If I setup my gmail, yahoo, Hotmail, ymail accounts in Mozilla Thunderbird Email Client, then I see separate inbox for each account, and to check email I have to go inbox of each account for checking email of that account.

Is it possible that I see all emails of my all email account in one inbox window, as well one sent folder for all email account, one spam / one trash / one delete / one important folders etc.... for all email account.

pls adv.

There is a quick method.

  • View >Folders > Unified.

This will show eg:One Inbox containing all account inbox emails. It will also show the various account Inboxes shown as sub folders, so that you can also see the various Inboxes individually.

If you have Pop mail accounts, then they can be amalgamated into one Local Folder Inbox.

Go into 'offline' mode - (do not synchronize - that is for IMAP accounts.) This stops any further downloading to Pop mail account.

You would need to move all of your emails into Local Folder Inbox and other Local Folder folders. Then change the type of account.

  • Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings
  • click on the "Advanced" button.
  • select 'Global Inbox (Local Folders Account)'
  • click 'OK'.

Exit Thunderbird and restart before you download anything.

there are other options mentioned at this link, plus info on Global Account.
