Hi, After my installation of T-bird on my W10 laptop with my Yahoo mail account, it downloaded my yahoo inbox, but not all my other folders. I used POP because I wanted to be able to manage all my mail folders offline. Can somebody tell me how I can get my other yahoo-mail folders into T-bird (preferably on my local computer for offline access)? Thanks a lot for any help! Pat

POP only downloads the Inbox. Add the account as IMAP to see (subscribe) all folders. Copy messages from IMAP folders to Local Folders for offline access.
