For quite some time now in the recent version of Thunderbird it has been unable to sync nearly all folders on my accounts. The only ones syncing are the inboxes but any other like the junk, sent, and personal folders it has been unable to sync for some reason. I am using IMAP on all accounts.

I have to manually click on them to make Thunderbird sync. Why is that so? What have the Mozilla dev team changed?

Thanks in advance!

Try this: select an IMAP account in the (left) folder pane, then select 'Manage folder subscriptions' under Advanced Features in the right pane. Click Refresh, then check the folders you wish to subscribe to, then click Subscribe, then select another account at the top and repeat the process.

Sorry should've mentioned that. I already tried that solution and it doesn't work. Thanks anyway!
