How do I get all my sub-folders from Yahoo to show up in Mozilla
I installed Mozilla Thunderbird on my Home PC and Office Laptop. On my PC all my sub-folders were imported automatically. On my Laptop Thunderbird is not showing all the sub-folders I use in Yahoo to keep my emails organized. This is not the local folders that I can set up in Thunderbird. It's the folders I have created in Yahoo for years.

Pop mail accounts can only connect to server, check Inbox for new messages and download from the server Inbox to the mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. This is how all pop mail accounts work.
You can get other emails in other folders downloaded by logging on to webmail and moving the emails back into the Inbox and then click GetMail. Suggest you do this one folder at a time.
Imap mail accounts see a remote view of the server folders. You subscribe to see folders. You can also choose to synchronize folders.
If you want to see various server folders then you have to use IMAP. You cannot change a pop into an imap, there are many differences.
Create a new exisiting mail account and make sure it is an IMAP setting before you click on 'Done'. Use 'Manual config' button if necessary to change settings.

re : On my Laptop Thunderbird is not showing all the sub-folders I use in Yahoo to keep my emails organized.
Tools > Account Settings > Server Settings At the top under Server Type does it say Pop or Imap Mail Server?
It says POP mail Sever. SO I assume that I should change that but how?
