Q: Organising Mail folders
In Mail on my MBP, my email folders are organised by type. So I have:
Inbox
Email account 1
Email account 2
Email account 3 etc
Sent
Email account 1
Email account 2
Email account 3 etc
and so on,
Then I have
Email Account 1
Folder 1
Folder 2
Folder 3 etc
This to me is logical and how I would wish it
However on my iMac, I have
Email Account 1 Inbox
Folder 1
Folder 2
Sent
Junk etc
and for the life of me I cannot figure out how to change the iMac to match the MBP. I am clearly having a senior moment, but could some kind person point me in the right direction.
Thanks

What type of account is it? iCloud, Gmail, internet provider account, etc?
It sounds like something is misconfigured on the iMac. If it is an IMAP-type account where all the messages are stored on the server (which it looks like from your description), you can just remove that account on the iMac, then re-add the account. It should configure it correctly to show everything like your other Mac.
