Customize contents of Unified Folders

Very similar to https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1408607

In Unified Folders I only want to see Inbox and the inboxes that I have selected for that virtual folder. I don't want to see Draft, Templates, Sent, Archives, Junk, Trash or a folder for each mail account - just the Inbox virtual folder.

How do I make that happen?

The article above mentioned https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032535 but I can't see how that applies.

Forgot to mention: Thunderbird 115.3.1 on Ubuntu 20.04.

Did you try creating a saved search as described in your first link?

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1408607#answer-1571651

It won't hide all the other folders you wish to hide, but you can define Favourite folders and set the Folder Pane to just show Favourites.

Yes. A saved search shows all the results in a single folder. I want there to be a folder per account so that I can quickly work on the account that I need to.
