Chosen solution

i'm using one Profile and four mail accounts, one of which uses an additional identity. But i also know someone using 22 mail accounts. At the link below it mentions someone successfully using 150.

Info on Limits:

You can use more than one Profile, but only one Profile can be in used in one instance of Thunderbird at any one time. Info regarding Profile Manager:

Each Profile can use many mail accounts (email addresses). You can use both Pop and IMAP mail accounts in the same Profile.

Pop mail accounts can also use a Global Inbox. More info on global Inbox:

You can also set up different identities to use in one mail account. More info on 'Identites' in thunderbird
