Explain what you are trying to accomplish. I have no clue why you would ever
need folders.

I have 40 email accounts. I would like to group them in folders.

See this page for Inbox views:

Custom Rule: Move messages from each POP account to it's own Inbox.

Diane,
that's not what I'm talking about.
I'm talking about the accounts window.
I have 40 mail accounts. It would be nice to group them by which websites they are for etc. thanks

What you want is not available. Rename the accounts so that they group
together.

With 40 I can understand why you would want folders. It might help if you
renamed the accounts to start with the provider like this:

Comcast xxxxx
Gmail xxxxx
Yahoo xxxxx
EarthLink xxxxx

At least they would group together.

You also might consider retiring some of the accounts, or for the ones less
used, remove them from the Send & Receive All schedule. Make a separate
schedule for them an download once a day or once an hour.

Hope this helps!
