brittonv,

Any questions?  Did you run into any problems?

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
My hosting provider recently changed how IMAP email is stored. &nbsp;I used to be stored all in one large inbox file, performace was really bad.<br />
<br />
They have recently changed to What I think is Maildir formating, and it is much better.<br />
<br />
However I have multiple mailboxes on my account that I check. &nbsp;Prior to this I would create a link to mailbox2 in my main mail box by logging on with my shell account and navigating to my email account folder. &nbsp;THen creating a link to the other mailbox folder ie.<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;cd /home/user/mail/domain.net<wbr />/account<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; ln -s ../mailbox2/ mailbox2<br />
<br />
Now since I have multiple folders in for mail, cur, tmp and new. &nbsp;I can't seem to get this to work. &nbsp;If I create a link to the parent folder as I had done before it doesn't work. &nbsp;When I go subscribe to the folder, it does not list it.<br />
<br />
Using Maildir and thunderbird, how can I access multiple email accounts with a single logon?<br />
<br />
What I would like to see is something like the following, as it was before:<br />
<br />
--Inbox<br />
&nbsp; |<br />
&nbsp; |--Trash<br />
&nbsp; |-- Mailbox2<br />
&nbsp; |-- Mailbox3<br />
<br />
etc,

How to access multiple Maildir Folders with Thunderbird

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Thunderbird is an email, newsgroup, news feed, and chat (XMPP, IRC, Twitter) client that supports POP and IMAP and LDAP address completion. The vanilla version is not a personal information manager, although the Mozilla Lightning extension adds PIM functionality. Thunderbird can manage multiple email, newsgroup, and news feed accounts and supports multiple identities within accounts. Features such as quick search, saved search folders, advanced message filtering, message grouping, and labels help manage and find messages. Thunderbird incorporates a Bayesian spam filter, a whitelist based on the included address book, and can also understand classifications by server-based filters such as SpamAssassin. Extensions allow the addition of features.
