How do I copy Xfinity email folders other than in box to Thunderbird on my hard drive?

The email folder "inbox" has already replicated very nicely. There are other folders on my Xfinity account that I would also like to replicate; how do I do that?

You have to use IMAP email to sync folders other than the Inbox. POP only connects to the Inbox. Comcast is finally rolling out IMAP in some areas. Check to see if you can get it where you are.

Setup is IMAP. INBOX replicates fine, but other folders created with Xfinity, like HUMOR do not. How do I make copies of those folders and their contents show up in Thunderbird?

Have you subscribed to those folders. File-subscribe
