My previous installation, all my email accounts shared the same folder structure ie Inbox, Sent, Deleted etc in LOCAL FOLDERS and my own directory storage setup also in LOCAL FOLDERS. Due to a complete hardware failure and subsequent reinstallation I cannot replicate this; I can set up the local folders as was as I maintained a backup, but each email address I set up now has its own set of Inbox, Sent, Deleted etc. I can set up a rather complex set of message filters but this was not previously required. Any ideas??
