I have several mail accounts, each with it's own Inbox and folders (all POP3 accounts). The provider for my main account is closing up, and I got another account to replace it with. How do I get these two accounts to share the same Inbox and folders? I know it's possible as TB on my work computer shares the Inbox & folders among 3 accounts - I just can't find a setting for it.

Right click on an account in the folder pane. Select settings In server settings select the advanced button. Choose inbox for another account and set it to "Local folders"

Note that the selection change does not move emails, so you will need to do that first. The inbox folder pane entry will disappear when you do the change making a drag and drop very difficult afterwards..
