This suggestion is for Thunderbird.

I'd like to be able to group email accounts into groups/folders like in the screenshot below:

I know there is Profiles, and I used them but I need grouping of accounts as well.

Thanks for submitting an idea to the Mozilla Connect community! Your idea is now open to votes (aka kudos) and comments.

Grouping Email Accounts into groups (folders) is great. However, today when I was adding a new email account I made for my media devices, I realized I have too many email accounts, and a search bar over the Folder Pane to search just email accounts would be tremendous for those of us who have many email accounts.

Hi from Melbourne Australia. 
I also would be interested to be able to send out a broadcast email, selected by group, as shown above.

I didn't know about Profiles, so I will check them out as well.

I'm from Albania, I'm very interested in this.  

This is the only reason i don't use your email app, I have aboht 100 emails that i need to manage everyday. 

This option is a life changer!

 

Thank you!

I love this idea!  I was about to suggest it.  

I have 30 or more email accounts, some personal, others for clients, still others for various website admin.  One screen isn't enough.   I want to be able to make a group and put email accounts in the group and have a flag pop up when there's a new email in the group, just like an individual email account has. (Same alerts on groups as on individual accounts, but want to see count of NEW emails rather than unopened, or perhaps both.)

I looked at the link in WSMWK's post, don't see how it's the same, but then, I'm still absorbing my morning coffee.   😉

I am strongly agree with this idea and it really would be a helpful for the people that have 10s of email accounts and they want them to add them in groups with the folder creation options for each group.

Also a strong vote for this. One of the main reasons I was using Postbox (Which has being sold and will be demised end 2024) was the ability to drop accounts into folders - in my case Work and Personal Most working in digital these days will have multiple email accounts and this is vital to allow focus.

I was just looking for this feature. I hope more people upvote this and not just comment
