Hide individual inboxes in unified view left pane

Thunderbird updated itself to Version 112.0b7 and I've lost the ability to hide the individual email accounts in the left pane. I have the account Server Settings --> Message Storage --> Advanced set to store incoming mail in Local Folders. That's the option (When downloading mail from this account's server, use the following folder to store new messages:) This is set to -- Inbox for different account --> [Local Folders]

Previous versions hid all the other individual mailboxes that were stacked on top of the Local Folders. The update seems to have broken that ability. Is there another way to get rid of all those accounts above the Local Folders?

Thanks. I didn't realize that somehow my installation update preference switched over to the beta channel and fetched the latest beta. I reinstalled the standard version and got back on the "release" channel.

That beta version is VERY buggy. The layout is bad too. I sure hope that most of those changes don't wind up in the main release channel.

The beta version is not recommended for day-to-day use, as it is predicted to be buggy and exists for testing only. If you wish to continue with beta, please use the beta forum at https://thunderbird.topicbox.com/groups/beta. In settings>general, you can unset the option to update automatically.
