Sounds like you set up ONE MH mailbox and added accounts when what you
want is to add one MH mailbox per account:

   File->Add mailbox->MH... (for each account - what you want)
      (On initial setup, Claws adds the first account [1])
      Add account & change the Account->Receive->Default inbox to 
      point to the correct MH mailbox
v.
   one MH mailbox (what you did):
      Configuration->create new account...
   or
      Configuration->Edit accounts...->New

It should look like this:
  Account1 (MH) [1]
    Inbox
    ...
    Trash
  Account2 (MH)
    Inbox
    ...
    Trash

instead of simply:
  Mail (MH) [1]
    Inbox
    ...
    Trash

[1] on initial setup, you had the option to change Mail to Account1
    You can't rename a mailbox; but you can add one per account, naming
    them, then delete "Mail (MH)" (after moving your messages to
    appropriate account mailboxes).
