If a unified inbox is not showing for you then something is broken.

Thanks for responding. Do you mean something is broken in TBird? If you mean something is broken on my end, I have the problem on multiple (actually 5) systems.

If you have setting:
'View' > 'folders' > 'Unified'
In Folder Pane, you should see:
A unified 'Inbox' that contains an amalgamated list of all emails that display in all the Inboxes for all accounts.
That unified 'Inbox' woulf have subfolders listing each Inbox for each mail account including 'Local Folders'.

Followed by a Unified 'Drafts' folder etc.

It would be helpful if you could post an image which shows what you see - it should look similair to this image. Although the folder icons would probably be different.

If that Unified Inbox does not show the contents of the Local Folders Inbox then do the following to see if the 'Local Folders Inbox is selected to display.

• Right click on Unified Inbox and select 'Properties'
• Click on 'Choose' button
• For each mail account, the 'Inbox' folder needs to be selected
• Make sure the 'Local Folders' Inbox folder is selected.
• click on 'OK'
• Then click on 'Update'.

Did this method fix the issue ?

The Unified Inbox is exactly what I wanted. I didn't know that was there. Thank you Wayne and Anje. This is resolved.
