This used to work until I upgraded to 60.4.0. I created a new subfolder in my Imap account on an android phone. The webmail server sees it but I cannot get Thunderbird to see the new subfolder. I toggled the sync settings off then on and set the main folder to always be checked with incoming mail. But Thunderbird will not sync properly and display the new subfolder. Thank you for any assistance cbucss cbucs@gmx.com

Yes that is the answer. Thank you. I don't remember having to do that before, but maybe it's always been like this and I just forgot
