Confused with local folders with multiple email accounts
For the first time I am trying to add several different email accounts to Thunderbird on my Windows 11 laptop. One worked fine (i.e. second email account). The next, from a different email provider, only has an inbox, no other folders. Local folders now appears below the this last email account, and includes copies of the primary email account Sent folder and my Invoices folder. There are more items in this copy Invoices folder than in the version listed straight under the primary email Inbox.
My aim is to have several different email accounts, each with their own Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Deleted, and the capability to add Folders as I wish. But I am thoroughly confused, having tried and failed to add the usual and any extra folders to this email account. Would be grateful for any advice.

Just my idea.
Normally, the default folders of your accounts are from your email provider. So the one thst has only Inbox should be your email provider's setup. You can create new folders for your accounts as you wish.
Local folders are used for saving your emails in your local machine for off-line use. You can put emails from different accounts to your local folders.
Checking with the email provider, thanks.
What is the account type for the two accounts - POP or IMAP? If POP, make sure you're not accidentally using Global Inbox. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/unify-your-pop-email-accounts-global-inbox
