How to uncheck a bunch of folders in unified folders at one time

I'm using Thunderbird version 115.12.2 on Mac Sonoma 14.5. Every once and a while, when Thunderbird crashes (unfortunately frequent, because of the numbers of folders and emails), my unified folder suddenly contains *all* of my folders, rather than just the 2 inboxes from my 2 different accounts, which is what I want and what I set up when I configured unified.

When I go into properties --> "select the folders to search" it allows me to uncheck 1 folder at a time. BUT I have 1,931 folders !

Is there a way to uncheck all folders in "select the folders to search" and then I can just check inbox in each of my 2 accounts?

Ok, I may be misunderstanding, but if the intent is to rebuild unified folders, try this: - click help>troubleshootinginformation - at 'profile folder', click 'open folder' - exit TB - in the Mail folder, delete 'smart mailboxes' - restart TB and it should rebuild the unified folders

Thanks for that suggestion. I tried it, twice, but no luck 0 ALL the folders from the 2 accounts were still in the unified inbox, where I only want the 2 inboxes in the unified inbox. I'm now unchecking the folders one-by-one: please save me from this! Is there a way to "un-choose" (un-check) multiple folders in the properties of the unified inbox?

Deleting that folder will certainly rebuild the entire unified folders database and search terms. but has Thunderbird actually existed completely from the task list on your mac?

Can you show us what these folders look like in the folder pane under all folders? What they are looking like in unified?

For example are they sub folders of inbox in the all folders view.

Thanks for your comment. I've attached an image of my unified folder pane. As you can see, yes, all the folders are sub-folders of the inbox for each account for jcassell@andr (you only see that for one of the accounts, because I spent time yesterday unchecking the folders under jcassell@inri ).

This setup with subfolders is not something I chose, and I don't know how to get the other folders out from under inbox - is that something I need to do to fix this?

I have included an image of my folders, showing that the folders are under the inbox.

But I haven't received any responses about how to uncheck all 900 folders so that they don't show up in my inbox.

Alternatively, is there a way to make it so that all my folders do not appear under the inbox?

thanks in advance and please help!

HI Folks,

Matt seems to have suggested that it's not a good thing to have all my folders underneath the inbox. How do I change that so that the folders are no longer underneath the inbox.

thanks!

I think that moving the accounts to the parent email account name will do that
