Thunderbird only shows inbox folder for imap accounts (google, aol). Sent, trash, etc. showed until recently.
Seems to have started about the time the little lock started to show up by the account name, but I'm not sure about this. I have no way of looking at my sent mail. If I try to add a folder it says it already exists.

I made an error on my statement. Thunderbird does show all folders for google mail. For aol mail, any time I try to display folders (subscribe etc.) nothing shows up. I do have View|Folders|All View|Threads|All set.
Thank you for your help.

Are these missing folders all subscribed?
Do you have any filters activated that might be hiding some folders?
View|Folders|All View|Threads|All
All the QuickFilter Bar options off?

This did not solve my problem. I must have clicked "solved" accidently.
Right-click the account, Subscribe..., then Refresh. Are the folders available to check (subscribe)?
I tried the suggestion "Right-click the account, Subscribe..., then Refresh." None of the folders that I see in my browser show up on the list.
The account is AOL, which probably changed from being a POP when I first began using Tbird. Should I delete then re-introduce the AIM/AOL/Netscape (that's how old it is) account to Tbird? After Hotmail changed I now have the old as Hotmail POP and another Hotmail IMAP; but they informed me that they were changing to IMAP so I knew I had to do something; AOL didn't.
I also have the same problem wth my Comcast (now Xfinity) account, but Hotmail, as I said, now displays all.
I have not brought GMail or Apple Mail into Tbird, so I don't know what they'd show
AOL supports POP and IMAP access, and if your account is currently POP (check Server Type in Server Settings) and you want it IMAP, copy the existing POP mail to Local Folders, then add the account as IMAP:
