See if those folders are subscribed:

R. click the accounts > Subscribe

Not sure how this response will solve the highlighted issue. can't even find "subscribe" on Thunderbird. Is there a platform to live chat with the support?

In Account Settings, Server Settings, what is the Server Type? If it's POP, only the Inbox is downloaded. To show (subscribe) other folders, it must be IMAP.
