If you set up the account to use IMAP you would see all the folders on the server.
How would I go about setting up the account to use IMAP?
You have two options:
Option 1: POP mail accounts can only get access to the server Inbox and download messages to the Thunderbird popmail account Inbox. So, if you want to keep with POP....
But before doing the next bit, you would need to ask your self whether you want to keep copies on the server. If yes: In thunderbird Tools > Account Settings or right click on mail account in Folder pane and select 'Settings'
- Select 'Server Settings' for pop mail account
- select 'Leave messages on server'
- click on OK
Logon to webmail using a browser and move emails from a folder back into Inbox.
then in Thunderbird, use 'Get Messages' to download. Create a new folder and move those downloaded emails into that new folder.
Repeat for each folder you need to download emails from. Once you have done this, everything will in future go to server Inbox and get downloaded to thunderbird.
Option 2: Create an Imap mail account.
File > New > Existing mail account or Menu icon > New Messages > Existing mail account Enter name Enter full email address Enter password click on 'Continue' Thunderbird looks for configuration details. Make sure IMAP has been selected. If all is correct: click on 'Done' you can use the 'Manual Config' button to do this manually if required.
