My previous installation, all my email accounts shared the same folder structure ie Inbox, Sent, Deleted etc in LOCAL FOLDERS and my own directory storage setup also in LOCAL FOLDERS. Due to a complete hardware failure and subsequent reinstallation I cannot replicate this; I can set up the local folders as was as I maintained a backup, but each email address I set up now has its own set of Inbox, Sent, Deleted etc. I can set up a rather complex set of message filters but this was not previously required. Any ideas??

You are talking about Pop mail accounts set up as a Global account. see info here: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Global_Inbox

How to change pop mail account into a Global Inbox Local Folders account.

  • Go into 'Offline' mode - this will stop any downloads.

how to quickly swap to offline - 

you do not need to synch folders. click on two blue screen icon located bottom left in status bar it should change to two black screen icon - this is offline mode.
  • If you have any emails in the pop mail account folders, then move all emails from the mail account into Local Folders.

Then go into Account Settings to set up Global Inbox:

  • Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account

or

  • Menu Icon > Options > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
  • click on 'Advanced' button
  • select: Inbox for different account 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)'
  • select 'Include this server when getting mail'
  • click on OK
  • Check settings for other folders and filters
  • then do same for the other pop mail accounts that needt o use same Inbox
  • Click on OK to close and save settings.
  • Now Close Thunderbird - this is important

wait a few moments for background processes to complete.

Open Thunderbird It should restart in online mode, If it doesn't, clickon the two black screen icon to swap to online mode.

The pop mail accounts should disappear from the Folder Pane and now only show the Local Folders. All emails will be downloaded to Local Folders Inbox.
