On my main computer Thunderbird works fine and has all the folders that are on the server. GMAIL on smartphone also has all folders. Just installed Thunderbird on a 2nd laptop and it seems to keep everything in the inbox. None of the folders that are on the server show up. I cannot click subscribe on the 2nd laptop for my GMAIL account. On my main computer I can click or unclick SUBSCRIBE which allows me to select which folders I want to subscribe to.

It appears you set up the account as POP instead of IMAP (POP only downloads the Inbox).
