I don't believe there's a built-in ability to associate a separate 
complete set of standard folders (In, Out, Sent, Trash, Drafts), but 
you can specify a different In box when you define an account. And I 
don't think there's a way at all to have more than one Outbox. Nor do I 
think you could get the built-in Move To Trash operation to target 
custom Trash folders. The rest can be simulated with filters, more or 
less.

The thing to explore is the considerable power of KMail filters. A few 
things to note:

- Filters enabled for incoming or outgoing messages can be restricted to 
subsets of your accounts
- Filters can be made to operate only when manually applied
- Filters can be given buttons on the toolbar
- Filters can be placed in a sub-menu of the Message menu
- Filters can rewrite headers and invoke external filters

I can't say I know for 100%, but I think it's highly unlikely.


I do strongly recommend moving away from Thunderbird. I really dislike 
it by comparison to KMail. The only thing it does better is compose 
formatted messages.
