Using Thunderbird for over a decade on different computers. Like it very much. (sorry, english is not my native language)

The mail account is on an imapserver. When I create in (provider)webmail a new submap under the inbox it doesn't appear on the desktop client. When I create a submap in Thunderbird all works fine, Even in webmail, mail shifted into the submap created in tb is visible in tb.

Thanks in advance,

bjorri.

Open Tools/Account Settings, then select the IMAP account in the left pane, and then the Synchronization & Storage subsection. In the right pane, click the Advanced button and check the folders (maps) that you wish to be downloaded in TB.
