165183 - unified folders for multiple accounts

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 159083

Description

[Mark]

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.1) Gecko/20020826

I installed Mozilla 1.1 and migrated from an Outlook Express installation using
several accounts. (Worked great!!) In OE I was able to make all incoming email
go to a local folder.  So first of all, I suggest adding the ability to set the
Inbox folder in the Preferences/AccountSettings/Copies&Folders dialog so that I
can set it to LocalFolders/Inbox for any account I wish.

A more complete enhancement would be to not even display different "accounts" if
I do not want to.  That was actually how Outlook Express worked, so will be a
familiar usage model to OE users wanting to switch.  So basically, I would like
to be able to usecommon Inbox/Drafts/Templates/Sent/Trash for all accounts that
resides under Local FOlders.  This behavior could be selected in the
Preferences/AccountSettings/Copies&Folders with a radio button.  I would like
tTwo choices: 
1) do them all and dont even display the hirearchy for the account 
2) display the hirearchy, but allow selection of behavior for individual folders.
