Until Eudora 7, mailboxes were all visible in parallel vertical columns on one page. How can I do this in Thunderbird?
In Eudora, there was a column down the left that we would scroll down for Mailboxes, but there is also in the top horizontal bar: File, Edit, Mailbox, Message, Transfer etc the possibility to Click on Mailbox and see ALL of the mailboxes on one page in parallel vertical columns. I would happily switch to Thunderbird if I could learn how to set it up for this Mailbox viewing feature. HELP!?

For what purpose? What operation(s)?
Scrolling up and down is tedious and seeing ALL the mailboxes on one page enables me to search contents and organize better. what is NOT visible on the screen might as well not exist....
I need to be able to see them all at one time
The screenshot is too large for Mozilla support to accept, how can I reduce the size of it by 50%?
I am not aware of any such capability, under any cirumstances.
But you should look at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/switching-folder-pane-view and https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/quickfolders-tabbed-folders/

I did a screenshot that won't upload because its 1820kb, about 800 above the limit...I wanted to show you exactly what I mean. How can I reduce the size of the screen shot???
Open the image using something like 'Paint'.
You can use the tools to select an area to crop or 'image' > 'Resize' and reduce the horizontal and vertical to eg: 70% Save as type jpg on desktop. Use the 'Add images' button in this forum.
OK, I've reduced the size of the screenshot, hope the image can be seen now. the the image, the cursor is in the upper left hand corner on Mailbox, and when the cursor is on Mailbox, ALL the mailboxes become visible and I can move over to any one of them without scrolling, I see everything at once and can organize from there. This is Eudora 7. In Eudora 8, I don't find this feature and I have never seen it or anything like it in Outlook or gmail, both of which I find unwieldy. I would be so happy if Thunderbird has this feature hidden somewhere with in itself, it has just about all the other good aspect of Eudora. Thanks!
Yiu won't find exactly what you see in Eudora. quickfolders has multiple functions and the author is open to suggestions. If you don't see it there then look for other extensions, because I can assure you Tbird doesn't currently have the structure or demands for this functionality
