For what it's worth, in Thunderbird 2 and 3 you set this by choosing the "Account Settings" item (under the "Tools" menu in Windows and the "Preferences" in Linux, don't know about Mac), then click on the "Server Settings" item under the Email Account you are working on, and then click the "Advanced" button in the right-hand pane. In the box that appears, put "INBOX" into the first field, "IMAP Server Directory", then hit "OK" to get back out. Now the folders will all show up on the same level. (You may need to "Refresh" the display for that email account by clicking on the '+' symbol next to the account to get it to change the display.) > We have been providing email services for our clients for several > years.

Amen, preach it! :-) But at least having documentation allows you to point folks to a web page with some images, which most people find helpful. Here's our pages for this very issue with Thunderbird. A picture is *definitely* worth a thousand words when it comes to email support, IMHO.
