I have used Thunderbird for many years. My church has a domain on Google, and my church-related email goes through Gmail. This has worked fine for years; I use IMAP and see the Gmail labels as folders in Thunderbird. Recently I had to change my password in Google, and had a terrible time getting re-synchronized to Gmail... I finally got Thunderbird connected properly, but I can only see the Gmail Inbox, not any of my folders. If I attempt to synchronize with Gmail labels Thunderbird only sees Trash. I have T-bird 68.6.0 on MacOS 10.13.6. Please help!

Success! Thank you so much!

Good to hear that worked. Obviously, now try that same process to get the other folders back again. I suspect you have probably already done that after the initial success on the 'Chapter' folder.

Actually, when it found Chapter all the rest suddenly appeared, too!

Even better. Many thanks for the info.
