I have one account in my Thunderbird mail. Some days ago I discovered I had two inboxes and two deleted folders. One set appears in the list at the lefthandside above local folders and the other set is under local folders. My outbox also appears under local folders.

I have deleted or moved all the mail entris in the inbox which appears under local folders.

How do I delete the superfluous inbox and deleted folders? How do I move the outbox so it appears above the local folders in the list? Many thanks for your help.

The 'Local Folders' account isn't 'superfluous', and even though there are ways to remove it, it isn't recommended to do so.

I'm a bit struggling to understand what's actually the problem, and what you're trying to achieve.

Surely as I only have one account, I should only have one inbox. How does my POP mail decide into which inbox to put my incoming mail? The two inbox icons have the downward pointing arrow. One inbox is the first entry in the list (below my email address) and the second is the first entry below local folders.
