With POP mail, you only get the Inbox, and mail you send remains local.

Here is the article on how to set up IMAP which, if it works, likely would provide access to more folders. In order to avoid messing up your current settings, you might want to create a new profile to experiment. Note: I have not tried this myself.

It would be easier to just use the new account wizard to create your imap account. The wizard has had the settings for yahoo IMAP for over a year now.
