How to set up a folder on my Local Drive for each e-mail account

more options

I have set up 3 different e-mail accounts' But somehow I managed to set one of them with a "sub" account which says its A Special Account There Are No Identities Associated With It, Under which I have sub directories into which I can save my e-mail. BUT I have no idea how I did this and I want to set up the same for each e-mail account so that I have directories for different categories under each e-mail account AND each e-mail account needs to be saved to a different folder on my PC. How can I do this

The special account is Local Folders account and is default to Thunderbird. There is only one of these. You can make folders under this account for any use you want but you cannot create a second local folders account. If using POP email and you turn on Global Folders the folders appear under local folders. Local folder info. http://kb.mozillazine.org/Local_Folders
