I collect emails from 4 accounts with Thunderbird, and each is kept separate as in the initial diagram on the link. I looked at the server settings for each and this feature of unifying the accounts is only available on the Pop accounts, not on the IMAP ones. That is to be expected of course. One feature(?) that I use if the filtering of emails received in one account can be stored in folders for another account. I know that this works But wonder if it is valid for both Pop and IMap mails as I haven't gone through all my filters to check.

Okay, so it looks like there's more-than one way to do it what with this and refiling emails between accounts to mop up after the switch. -- Cheers, Ralph. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2020-02-04 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk

Could you not setup Thunderbird to access the email accounts A & B separately but then use the Thunderbird filtering to move emails coming from account B into the account folders of account A?? just set up a quick filter on the wife Thunderbird and manually ran it and it moved the email from one account to the sub folder on another email account. Unable to test further as I was to get of her PC!!
