POP email configuration: use local folders

Hello, I am trying to configure a new POP email address for the first time in many years, and I just need a bit of assistance.

All of my previously configured email accounts share the same inbox etc under LOCAL FOLDERS and I want the new one to do the same.

I know how to configure the account to use LOCAL FOLDERS for sent items, drafts, etc via the COPIES & FOLDERS tab under Account Settings.

But what else do I need to do in order to tell Thunderbird that I want to use LOCAL FOLDERS for everything and not have the email account show up separately in the folders panel?

I can't remember what I had to do years ago when I set up my other accounts, and of course things may have changed.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Update: I found the information I needed here:

https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/unify-your-pop-email-accounts-global-inbox

Although some details have changed since that article was written.

It's one of those things that's very hard to look up without knowing the right keywords to search for. I had no idea it was called a "global inbox". It would be nice if this option could be made more intuitive to find...
