Any of you pimps help me with a problem? I got multiple email addresses and I want to use Thunderbird to download from all of them. Now the thing is, I want each email account to have a separate account on thunderbird but whenever I add a new one, it gets placed into Local with all the other ones and the mail all goes into the same folder.
It used to make a separate account when I added an email address but a couple of weeks ago, it freaked out when trying to access gmail. Apparently the password was lost in thunderbird and I couldn't find the password entry place (this one has been fixed), but in the mean time since it just kept giving me the invalid password message, I just deleted the Gmail account from Thunderbird. Well now I want it back and can't figure out how to separate them. Any of you can help me out?

One thing that should work is going to "Tools" / "Message Filters...". Then you can create a new filter based on the "To or cc" address (i.e., put in your EnkoPwnsTheArcade@gmail.com or whatever address, then check the "Move to" box and specify a folder for that address.)

If that doesn't work, let me know and I can try to puzzle through it with ya!

that works but kind of overrides a couple of my other spam filters I have set up. basically what i'm looking to do is have 2 local accounts so when I start up thunderbird, there are two drop down file directories on the left and each has an Inbox, trash, etc under them.
It did it before but can't figure out how to do it again.

a little i will try to explain my issue as simple as i can, i was wondering if you pimps could tell me, i see you use FireFox and was wondering if when you do a search on the home page when you want to scroll down the page do you have to put your mouse pointer on the slide bar to scroll down page , because for some reason i have to do this it will not let me use my mouse scroll button to scroll, or am i doing something wrong can you guys tell me what i might be doing wrong i have the latest version that is out .

Don't know if you ever got this straightened out, but I just happened across this today and it might be what you wanted.

In Thunderbird, go into the "Tools" menu, then "Account Settings...". In the left-hand pane, click on "Server Settings", and hit the "Advanced..." button on the right. Then select the option for "Inbox for this server's account". Seems like it should make a dedicated folder for it that way, instead of dumping everything into the global inbox...

That works funky. I finally did it as well...lol

awesome. it worked. +rep to you FunkyFresh
