How to Show Folders in Thunderbird Yahoo! Mail

You can view all mail folders in Mozilla Thunderbird.

Mozilla Thunderbird is a desktop email client that is compatible with both the Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X operating systems. When you set up a POP3 or IMAP connection to an outside email account, like Yahoo! Mail, Thunderbird will only show your inbox folder by default. You can adjust this functionality in the program's advanced settings so that Thunderbird displays all of the subfolders linked to your Yahoo! Mail account.

Instructions

1. Launch the Mozilla Thunderbird program on your PC or Mac computer.

2. Open the "Tools" menu at the top of the window and choose "Account Settings."

3. Go to the "Server Settings" section of the window.

4. Click on the button labeled "Advanced."

5. Uncheck the box next to "Show only subscribed folders."

6. Press "OK" twice to save the settings. The Thunderbird program will now show all of the folders in your Yahoo! Mail mailbox.
