I just today returned to Thunderbird. I successfully inclued my 3 email accounts but two of them only have inbox and trash folders none of other folders such as drafts, spam ,deleted or trash etc. folders. My G-mail has all these folders. Do I need to delete the two accounts with the missing folders and reinstall or is there a setting I need to change. Regards Mike
