The first PC does Does show this folder after the upgrade minus 5000+ inbox messages. My second PC does NOT show this folder but still shows my 5000+ inbox messages. The first PC only shows about 100+ inbox messages. Further, the second PC shows the IMAP server name but the Server Type continues to show POP. Any idea how to fix this so the 5000+ messages are synching (showing) on both PCs? Thanks in advance.

PS- The second PC shows an error with the POP mail server. I am also concerned about losing the 5000+ messages if I delete and reinstall 78.4.1.

If the Server Type is POP, the default is to delete from the server after download, which explains why the IMAP Inbox on the first PC doesn't show those messages.

You can't change from POP to IMAP by just changing the settings; copy the POP messages to Local Folders, remove the POP account, add it as IMAP.
