Right-click the account in the folder pane, Subscribe, click Refresh. Can you now subscribe to the missing folders?

Was the account set up as POP or IMAP on the old computer? If it was POP, the folders wouldn't appear on the new computer, and if the folders were created under Local Folders, they also wouldn't appear, even if the old account was IMAP.
