Hi, I have a Windstream email account connected to Thunderbird. In all my account has 9 folders under my Inbox. However, in Thunderbird, only 5 show up. It's ok if TB can only handle 5 subfolders under an inbox. However, some of the ones that TB displays, I don't want or need in TB; but some folders that don't show up, I do need to access on TB. One folder that does not show up is one I recently created on the Windstream email website. I have looked all over TB to try to find how to toggle which folders and subfolders appear for an email account. Can anybody help?

Isisombululo esikhethiwe

Right click the account in the folder pane. Select subscribe from the menu. Check all the folders you want to see. Or all of them.

Thank you! I'm not used to "subscribe" as a term for toggling settings like that.

It is becoming a more common term in general, especially where synchronization between locations, devices and applications are involved.
