IMAP allows me to access my Mail from any device. With POP, the mail
only exists on one of them.

Hi Terry,
Sounds strange, I've never had to do that before, but I use Google Mail
and Live Mail, so it might be a different process for you.
Are you using IMAP to connect to your mail server, because given the
choice between that and POP, you probably want IMAP?

Hi,
As threatened some weeks ago, I have just configured Thunderbird to
manage my mail instead of KMail.
It seemed to be working OK, except that it didn't seem to be
displaying the contents of all of the folders on the server. As many
of you know, I have a number of mailboxes on my server (One and One
hosted) and each box has one or more folders and sub-folders to
contain and organise by mail.
One of these folders is called /Archive/Government and under it I
currently have:
Government -
Council -
DCC -
EDDC -
MEP
MP
etc.
Each of these folders contains one to many messages, as you would expect.
In KMail, these folders are displayed correctly, but in Thunderbird I
found that the Government folder was greyed out and I only got the MEP
folder at first.
I then discovered this:
https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2310625.
I tried Subscribing and Unsubscribing to the folders in that Mailbox
as suggested and I can now see the folders immediately below
Government, but I can't see the sub-folders under Council.
Anyone know what is going on here and what is this Subscription thingy
anyway?
