thunderbird grouping email accounts and separating them

[unwashed potato!]

i have Thunderbird on my pc and it's has all folders grouped into the type of folder for all accounts, so inbox then it list say 9 accounts, then spam, and it lists 9 folders for spam for each account, the deleted etc

however on my laptop this is kept separate so i have account 1: - inbox, - spam, - deleted, -sent etc.

i prefer the way it is on my laptop but unsure how i can change it to this. anyone got a clue?

my biggest concern is i have many many folders full or emails i need to keep so don't want to mess this up and lose them.

you can change the type of list. The title of the menu at the top has left and right arrows whcih should allow you to do what you want.
