Hello, I am trying to configure a new POP email address for the first time in many years, and I just need a bit of assistance.

All of my previously configured email accounts share the same inbox etc under LOCAL FOLDERS and I want the new one to do the same.

I know how to configure the account to use LOCAL FOLDERS for sent items, drafts, etc via the COPIES & FOLDERS tab under Account Settings.

But what else do I need to do in order to tell Thunderbird that I want to use LOCAL FOLDERS for everything and not have the email account show up separately in the folders panel?

I can't remember what I had to do years ago when I set up my other accounts, and of course things may have changed.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

It's one of those things that's very hard to look up without knowing the right keywords to search for. I had no idea it was called a "global inbox". It would be nice if this option could be made more intuitive to find...
