Hi, I've been using Thunderbird for a few years and I've been familiar for longer. Generally, I've nothing but good things to say about it. I used to use Thunderbird for one purpose, I had one business domain with email accounts set up via Thunderbird. All other email accounts I used their respective websites. This worked very well and I got alot of use out of the unified inbox.

However, I now have another business and I've decided to start connecting my personal email accounts to the client as well.

This leaves me with the issue that, I'm now getting inundated with emails in the unified inbox. Is there anyway I can group mail accounts by domain.

For example, I currently have 4 domains across perhaps 15 or so accounts.

What I want is

Unified Inbox for allaccounts@BusinessDomain1.com Unified Inbox for allaccounts@BusinessDomain2.com Unified Inbox for allaccounts@personalemail1.com Unified Inbox for allaccounts@personalemail2.com

Thus, when I want to deal with Business 1 related emails I can just look at them and so on and so forth.

If this is not possible, the other option would be to exclude various accounts from the unified inbox is this possible?

Regards,

You cannot do that, but you may have multiple profiles for different purposes and switch between them.

You may learn about that in various places, but refer to the following article for info on the built-in Profile Manager, because many KB articles only mention the external Profile Manager tool, which makes things look more complicated than they need to be:

You could create saved searches for each domain, adding the Inboxes for the accounts in the dialog. File/New/Saved Search...; press Alt if the Menu Bar with File is hidden. Select 'Match all messages' unless you wish to define filters.
