I installed Thunderbird on my Windows10 laptop. It installed without any problems but I noticed that all of my email folders did not copy over, many are missing. I went to Account settings/Synchronization & Storage and clicked the Advanced button. That showed a list of all my email folders, but that list is not correct. How do I get all my email folders to appear?

If you right-click the account in the Folder Pane, Subscribe, click Refresh, do all the folders appear and can they be checked, i.e. subscribed?
