created new accounts but sub-folders different, missing, new, & new icons(?)
For many years I have had 2 Accounts in Tbird. They are POP.
I just created two new accounts, and am confused by some differences in appearance. These are IMAP.
Do IMAP accounts populate the sub-folders based on a structure present in the IMAP provider?
1) there is a new sub folder "All Mail"
2) No Junk folder. There is a Spam folder. Did some idiot change the name in an update to Tbird, just to fark with long time users? If so they did a poor job, since the Account Settings still has a tab for "JUNK Settings" and the toggle asks where to move the JUNK. Creating synonyms is bad practice, because nobody knows if they are in fact synonyms. One would presume they are not.
3) In the index listing of accounts, each account has an icon to its left -- concentric circles with a padlock. And I have not noticed that icon before, I'm wondering if my old accounts suddenly have a different icon (which strangely matches the new accounts' icons).
The sub-folders all have unique icons for each type (Inbox, Sent, etc)
In choosing where to place sent mail, there are two toggle choices to Place A Copy In:
1) "Sent" folder on { [circle&lock icon] ACCOUNT_NAME
2) "Other { [SentFolderIcon] Sent on ACCOUNT_NAME
I don't grasp the difference. Would 1) keep the messages on the remote IMAP system?
I notice that my old POP accounts are using option 1) & mail is kept locally.
3) The new accounts have "greyed out" italicized subfolders "Folders" and "Labels." Are these associated with being IMAP, or did some Tbird update add them? What are they for?
