- Open the Subscribe Dialog:
- A new window will open, listing all the folders available on your mail server.
- Check Available Folders:
- Look for the folder(s) you want to add (e.g., Sent Items, Drafts, Spam, or any custom folder). These will be listed under the root folder of your email account.
- Subscribe to the Folder:
- Check the box next to the folder(s) you want to add.
- If the folder you’re looking for doesn’t appear, click Refresh to reload the list of available folders.
- Click OK:
- Once you’ve selected the folders you want, click the OK button. The folders will now appear in the folder pane of your Thunderbird account.
- Download Folder Content:
- Locate the newly subscribed folder in the folder pane.
- To ensure that its contents are downloaded, click the cloud icon with a down arrow next to the folder name. This will start downloading the messages to your local Thunderbird client.
- Verify Folder Sync:
- Open the folder and verify that emails are displayed correctly. If they’re still not visible, right-click the folder, select Properties, and then click Repair Folder to refresh it.
