I have been using Thunderbird for years with few issues. I have had it set up on this computer for over a year without a problem. Now all of a sudden my one Yahoo subfolder is not syncing. Like I said it worked fine until a couple of days ago. Then wammo no new messages. Inbox and all other folders including the 3 other email accounts seem fine. I click get messages all my inboxes fill up. But this sub folder will not. I have tried removing the email and bringing it back. I don't know what else to try. Is there some way to force the folder to sync manually? It is really a problem as messages filter directly to this sub folder and I use it every day.

I was just going to change the email account and needed the from email to set up the new filter. Lo and behold in looking for an old message to copy it from I found all my missing emails in the junk folder. I never thought to go hunting the other folders. Apparently, Yahoo decided they were all junk. I'm not sure why when I logged in before I was still seeing messages in the folder. Anyway moving them back and marking them as not junk seems to have solved my problem.

right click the folder, select properties and include the folder when syncing.

BTW on a synced IMAP account you should never need to click get mail.

Thanks. I did that. I only clicked get email to be sure they were not showing up. I don't normally have to do that. Sometimes it helps if I need a message to come in quick.
