What thunderbird actually does is give you virtual inbox, sent, drafts and trash mailboxes (and maybe archive as well) combining the respective mailboxes of all your accounts, and also lets you access each account and its inbox, sent, drafts, trash and archive mailboxes separately (plus any other folders a particular account might have) as well, so you can have your cake and eat it. These virtual mailboxes are there by default, but I think you can create your own virtual mailboxes and saved searches and the like as well, they all appear in a tree on the left hand side. It's a pretty good feature, but still not enough to make me switch from mutt.
