Hi

I'm new to Thunderbird, i have set it all up, and 'm hoping i can find the help that i need here. Basically, i have 3 email accounts, yahoo, gmail, and webmail. On my webmail account, the only folder i see is INBOX, i do not see SENT or any other folder. So i go to VIEW, and change FOLDERS to ALL, and nothing, it only shows INBOX. i change it to UNIFIED, and it does show SENT and my other folders, but it is a horrible interface, because to see SENT of my webmail, i have to scroll down through my other accounts.

My question is, when VIEW FOLDERS is set to ALL, why can't i see my webmail folders?

see the photo attached

any solution please?

thank you

What's the account type of the 'Webmail' account - POP or IMAP?
