I am trying to migrate from WML 2012. I have set up 2 accounts in newly installed Thunderbird and used my existing email client to send a test message from each to the other.

I can see the 2 test emails in TB. They appear in a single unified/global (Local) folder.

I want to be able to see the inbox, sent, junk etc for each account separately. There is lots of help showing how to GET these into a single unified folder but I can't see how to separate them again.

Ultimately I want to be able to see 5 email accounts completely separately but at the moment I can't even get 2 accounts to be separate by default.

It's as if "unified"/"Global" is now the default...and that's not at all what I want.

Can anyone help please?
