to see the folders on your iphone ...

What you see on the iphone in the top of the mail appilcation is all the inboxes, and maybe flagged messages. If you go down further you see each account named, for example

GMAIL 1737 > Wayne@x 62 >

If you touch on the account line Wayne@x, it expands to show all the folders of that account
