howdy. Is it possible to have more than one Inbox set up in T-bird at once (like you can do in Outlook) under one account? Or failing that, is it possible to merge an existing inbox into another one (i.e. copy it in from another computer)? Problem is: I have T-bird set up on one machine, and another on another machines, and the two different/local inboxes have different content that I'd like to merge. No big deal if I can't, but it would be handy. Thanka.

Is this the same account on both machines? If so, I guess it is using POP?

I would use the ImportExportTools add-on to import into each machine the other's mailbox files. This will import into Local Folders and from there you can copy or move messages so as to combine them into the working Inbox.

An account in Thunderbird connects to a single account on the server. I can't see any value in having two Inbox folders in the same account.
