I don't use TB so I have no idea on how to get them all into one folder but it should be easy enough to create a rule

hal, thanks. I've gotten that far and have already downloaded the inbox emails to Thunderbird. What none of the documentation covers is how to DL emails in folders other than the Inbox (like your "sent" email folder and others).

Everything I've read says mail in separate folders cannot be DL'd but others mention dragging folders across to Yahoo folders and other means for those using Outlook.

I thought since we are on Macs, there should be some way to do this without bringing all Comcast folder emails back into the root Inbox.
