Help with Configuring 'Copies & Folders' Panel
Hello,
I am new to Thunderbird and need help with configuring the 'Copies & Folders' tab in Thunderbird 115.12.2 (32 bit) running on Windows 10.
Background: I have just set up a pop3 account to download and locally store all incoming messages to my inbox and also to keep a copy of those messages on the server.
I want to store all sent messages for that pop3 account locally too, in a 'sent' folder.
Questions: 1. If I have more than one pop3 account set up like this, do I: (a) set up a separate 'sent' folder for each of those accounts; or (b) set up one 'sent' folder containing sent messages for all pop3 accounts, or (c) is it personal choice?
2. How do I set up: (a) a separate 'sent' folder for every pop3 account? (b) a single 'sent' folder for all pop3 accounts?
3. Can I keep a copy of all sent messages on the folder in addition to storing the locally; and if so how do I configure this?
4. How do I set up the Drafts & Templates section for the above scenario? My preference here would be to have one drafts folder for all pop3 accounts. I don't use templates.
5. If I uncheck the 'keep message archives in' check box, will that turn off automatic archiving and keep all incoming pop3 messages in the inbox?
6. Is there an up to date manual for Thunderbird? I can't find one.
Many thanks for your help with this.

When you send a message Thunderbird will create a send folder, when you archive a message Thunderbird will create an archive folder and so on.
Archiving only happen when you select the A key or archive from one of the menus.
1.C 2. It will occur automatically when you send email on the account. Note any mail send using web mail or other device will no0t be included. 3 I do not GROK this statement 4. The defaul will do fine for the vast majority of folks. 5. There is no automatic archiving beyond what you see on that panel. 6. No.
Just a shot addition. Storing all your mail in the inbox is not recommended. You are just a single false positive by your antivirus program from loosing everything in any folder. Just keep that in mind when setting up your antivirus product.
