Hi - on my Thunderbird I can see what seem to be duplicates of my mail accounts. Please see pic. These are IMAP accounts. At the top where is says INBOX - I can open that up and reveal all my email accounts - and any subfolders I have in them. Then at the bottom I now seem to have duplicates of these mail accounts although the icon is slightly different.

Subfolders in the top email accounts within the INBOX - seem to periodically move down to the accounts at the bottom which is really confusing.

How can I tidy this up please? Thanks for any help. Jonathan

The upper entries are the unified folder view, showing all folders that are common among the accounts. The entries below are the folders that are unique to the various accounts.

Thanks David The weird thing is that sub folders of an email account - sometimes move down to the correspsonding folder below (the ones that are unique to the various accounts)

So when you go to look in the unified entries - some of them have moved and at first you think they have been deleted.

I'm just wondering how I can stop it doing that, Many thanks Jonathan

Do people just tend to save a separate version for Apple Books?

Hi Jonathan,

A separate version of Thunderbird for Apple's eBook reader application? How are those things related?

Or a separate version for MacBooks, the computers?

Ooops so sorry Rick & David - I got mixed up with a question I posted somewhere else about ebook creation. Apologies.

For now I have unchecked Unified View - perhaps that willl make things easier to see.
