I have just installed Thunderbird on a replacement computer (running Linux Mint). The version I have is 140.7.1esr. I use a POP Gmail account. For a change it installed and connected seamlessly, but I cannot persuade it to download anything other than the messages in my Inbox. I have right clicked as recommended on my Gmail address, but see no 'Subscribe' to select. What am I doing wrong?

And now I have changed account to IMAP, and see every folder APART from Sent Messages!

Pop accounts ONLY sync Inbox.

And it is not possible to subscribe to other folders. You need imap to do this.

This may have changed recently? My previous machine seemed to sync on all folders - unfortunately the hard drive died, so I cannot see what settings or version of Thunderbird I was using. I'm pretty certain the account was set up as POP as I kept all the emails locally...? Ian

Finally sorted - Sent Folder was marked as not showing in IMAP in Gmail settings. I always have the most trouble with Gmail playing nicely with Thunderbird when I change computers!!
