How can I get TB to get emails from folders besides the Inbox?

I just installed Thunderbird. It loads in emails from my Server's (Verizon) Inbox, but it gets nothing from the Sent folder or from any other of my personally-created folders. Can you tell me how to get TB do this? In Verizon, I changed all my emails to be "unread". Thanks.

You have to use IMAP email to do this. POP email only connects to the Inbox.
