I've used Unified Folders for a couple years. Just added a new account doing some migration and testing. I don't want this mixed in with other accounts but Thunderbird is putting in the Unified Folders. Seems easy enough, find unified folder list and remove it. I can't find this anywhere.

Help and community posts searched, I see lots of pull up properties suggestions and click "choose" which everyone votes down cause this doesn't exit. Is this here somewhere and I just can't find it ? or is this post 115 problem ?

This is pretty much means I can't use thunderbird for any account unless I want to mix it in with my key email accounts. This is kind of unacceptable. I can't imagine handling email without Thunderbird. any help greatly appreciated.

Highlight each folder in unified folders (e.g, inbox, sent, trash, etc) individually, rightclick, select properties and then select choose. In summary, you do not unselect at the account level but at the folder level. I hope this helps.
