Sorry if this should be obvious to me: Can I have a unified folder containing only individually-chosen folders from several accounts?

In K9 on Android I can select one by one which folders from several accounts go into Unified view. Can I do that in Thnderbird itself? It looks like either I can do unified view, which unifies eg Inbox and Send but doesn't let me pick which others specific folders are included, or I can Favourites view which lets me pick folders but doesn't unify them. Can I do both?

Many thanks.

Chosen solution

Highlight a unified folder, right-click and select 'properties' and then click 'choose' and then tick or untick the folders you want to appear.

File/New/Saved Search... (press Alt if the Menu Bar is hidden) and add any set of folders to the search. This doesn't require the Unified view.
