Hi Kev

Assumption your connecting to the server via Imap and not pop.

You should 'Enable 'Sync' on each desired folder. Only Inbox to enabled by default.

  1. Press the top left menu button.
  2. Select your desired account (folders visible).
  3. Tap manage folders (bottom of list).
  4. Tap desired folder.
  5. Toggle "Enable Sync" ON.
  6. Repeat for each required folder
