With Juno email, Thunderbird won't migrate my folders.
The Inbox migrated fine and I'm getting new email fine. But the other folders I've created aren't there. (Other folders do show up in G-mail, but not in my Juno email.) BTW, I'm new to Thunderbird; very nice to have all my emails in one place.

Depends on the Server TYpe.
If IMAP then you can select to see a remote view of any subscribed folder that appears on the server.
If POP, then pop can only access and download from the server Inbox to the pop mail account Inbox in Thunderbird. This is not a thunderbird quirk, it is how all pop mail accounts work.
there is a workaround to get mail that is inother server folders.
create some folders in thunderbird. Move all emails out of Inbox into other folders, delete what you do not want and then compact the Inbox.
When it is empty, log on to webmail account via a browser. Move emails from one of your folders into Inbox.
in Thunderbird, click on 'Get Messages' to download those emails. Move emails into suitable folder.
Repeat to get emails from other folders. Once all is downloaded, make a backup as this will be your only copy. all new mail that goes to server Inbox, will then get downloaded as normal.
Alternative would be to create a new IMAP mail accouunt and subscribe to see folder.
