Hello all.
I first thought to continue my last thread about apple mail issues, but I thought it might not be a bug afterall and I am doing something wrong, hense this query.
So I have 3 email accounts and I want to setup all the 3 where the inbox does not mix up all mails from the 3 inboxes.
Same for sent or draft etc.
So let's say I focus on one email and expand it using say right arrow. Then all the sub folders like inbox, sent etc for that email shown be shown. Is this possible?

Yes you can. Go into system settings, internet and accounts, log onto all the accounts and check the services you want them to sync with (calendars, notes, emails...). When you open the mail app next you will have the smart mailboxes expended first with an all inbox item, then below it each account will have its own categories like inbox, sent, draft... and the accounts are expended by default but you can just left arrow or vo\ on the level 0 item to collapse or expend them. Apple mail on the mac alone is worth some of voiceover bugs, I hated all email clients before on windows as gmail web was (and still is) more than enough for me, been only using the classic mail metro app before ms killed it reluctantly for ms365 accounts. But now I am full on apple mail for everything and it works really well. Some bugs here and there, don't hesitate to reach out here, but it works mostly well.

FYI, the same thing works on iOS devices for multiple e-mail accounts if you want to sync everything together.

For me too, apple mail is the best thing I have experienced so far. But sadly vo \ or left arrow does nothing and it remains expanded.
Just a "here and there " kind of bug but it becomes irritating some times given the amount of folders I have.

So I don't here email status like unread, which is very important. I am able to mostly guess it correctly because of my sorting and I listen to the timing of the email.
