I have Thunderbird checking several email accounts, can I have them put everything in a single Inbox?

I have Thunderbird checking a Gmail email account but also another, non corporate email account. On my iMac desktop computer, I have the email client putting all "Incoming" email into a single inbox. Is that possible to do on Thunderbird? Or, do I have to go to the specific email inbox of each email account that I am checking with Thunderbird?

If you have multiple accounts in Thunderbird, you can click view>folders and tick 'unified folders.' With that, thunderbird creates a virtual inbox for all accounts where there are folders of the same name, such as inbox, set, draft, trash. If there are folders unique to an account that are still listed separate for the account. And, when desired, you can expand a virtual folder when you want explicit access to a specific folder.

Thank you so much, that took care of it for me.

You are very welcome.
