I added a new IMAP account and there is no "sent" folder. I sent a TEST to myself which shows up in webmail but there are no sent items in T-bird.

I created a new IMAP account, as instructed in the POP3 to IMAP conversion tutorial, and renamed my old POP# account. The new account has no sent folder and takes forever to download email.

Thanks in advance.

Matt, thanks for your help. The folder was unsubscribed. Once I read your post, I right clicked it and subscribed it, now things appear to be working as expected.

Best, Grant

what mail provider?

Right click the account and select subscribe. Is the sent folder subscribed?
