Is this new account IMAP? IMAP can not be located in Local folders.

Howdy Matt. Thanks for the reply. Must have had a brain cramp making the post - it's a POP account. Apologies!

Chipping in as Matt may have gone to bed - depends on where you live :)

Sounds like you had originally set up all your Pop mail accounts to use a Global Inbox.

see info:

• http://kb.mozillazine.org/Global_Inbox

Go into 'Offline' mode to stop downloading etc.

If that new pop mail account Inbox has already downloaded some emails: Create folders in Local Folders and move all your emails into those suitable folders for organising.

Then change the Inbox for each pop account:

• Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings for the mail account
• click on 'Advanced' button
• select: 'Inbox for different account' and 'Global Inbox (Local Folders)'
• select 'Include this server when getting new mail'
• click on OK

It will ask you to check settings for other folders and filters. Click on OK to save and close Account Settings.

Then close thunderbird and wait a short while for backgroud processes to complete. Restart Thunderbird. It should restart in Online mode. Emails should now be downloaded to Local Folders Inbox. All pop mail accounts should disappear from the Folder Pane view.

Toad Hall: Many thanks bro. Hit the nail right on the head!! Working perfectly now.

Y'all take care.

Thanks Toad :) I do not spend enough time in bed. So chip in anytime.
