Greetings Firefox volunteer.

Thanks for response. I think i may be able to make the quickfolders work for use case. Not ideal but there we are. Thanks!

Are you trying to sort mail into folders automatically, with filters, or view mail from several accounts in a global inbox or unified view?

I'm wanting to lump certain types of mail accounts into separate folders so i can see at a glance what type of accounts have mail. I'm wanting to do this because the number of mail accounts is getting too busy (and it's going to get worse) and i would really like to consolidate them.

For example, i have mail accounts related to various things, such as website accounts, business accounts, personal accounts, random accounts, etc., and i would like to put each of those types into its own box, such as a 'website account' box with all email accounts related to a particular website. I could then expand that box to see all the accounts related to that particular website.

The unified folders option of the global inbox you linked looks like it might be up my street, but it says it merges all mail from all accounts, and that's not what i want.

...but maybe i've read it wrong and what i want to do can be done?

Thanks

Consider making a saved search for each group of accounts. Choose... the Inbox folders for, say, all the business accounts, and to simply show all messages, select 'Match all messages', or set rules if desired, e.g. Age in Days is less than 7. When the saved search folder is open, enable the Account column.

Sounds interesting. I'll learn that when i get some time. Thanks
