How can I remove Inbox folders for suspended accounts?

Hi, I've suspended (not removed) several email accounts in Thunderbird, so that I can focus on using one account. I'd like to removed the Inboxes for these accounts within Thunderbird's Global Inbox, and so I've right clicked on on the Global Inbox folder->Properties->Choose->...and then uncheck all of the suspended accounts, and checked the only operative account...

Within the Properties window, it reads: "Select the folders to search: 1 folder chosen"

Then I clicked "Update," and yet the suspended folders still appear there.

What else should I to remove / conceal the other Inboxes for the suspended accounts?

Thanks!

Thanks!

I believe I've unsubscribed to them within Settings.

And I have have selected Unified Folders.

How would I redefine the Global Inbox?

Thank you...

Thanks so much for your instructions. I followed them, but...I'm sorry to report it didn't work. Any other ideas?

Thank you. That's actually what I attempted to do. But for some reason I can't dislodge the old accounts from my Global Inbox, even after taking those steps. I agree: it's strange.
