Can you select only certain email folders to show up in Thunderbird?
We use shared folders between proxy users. We have records requests and need a faster way to provide the request to the citizen who is requesting the information. Thunderbird is a work around so we can easily forward the information that is in one folder. We would like to know if there is a way to only sync up with the one designated folder or if we have sync the entire email account.

right click the account and select settings. Under server setting select advanced and select only show subscribed folders. Right click the account again Select subscribe and subscribe to only the folder/s you want to see.
To make things faster you can also go to the synchronization and storage settings section in account settings and deselect the keep messages for this account on this computer. This will cause only the header information to compile the mail list to be downloaded and the message body will be fetched on demand. This will reduce traffic on the network as the messages will not be downloaded to each user, unless they are needed for viewing, printing forwarding et cetera.
