Not sure if it works yet, waiting to get some emails which will get filtered…

I didn’t see any similar option in the GUI either. Why would they remove this?

As per suggestions made in this forum I tried changing the “mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new”, to true AND subscribed to the subfolders, which I can see. But on trying to open any of the subfolders.

But, I tried creating a new subfolder by right clicking on inbox. then i chosed to subscribe the folders. It worked and showed by previous subfolder lists under Inbox. Thanks for everyone guidance. Please get in touch if you face similar problem.

I started out with Thunderbird on Ubuntu Intrepid, but because I could not get it to update subfolders, I switched to evolution. After finding this “fix”, I switched back to Thunderbird. Evolution was just too slow for me. Thunderbird is much snappier.

But on trying to open any of the subfolders, I get the message that the Inbox/subfolder ‘does not exist’. It does exist, so I wonder if this is because of something I have failed to do in Thunderbird, or a matter of how my institution has set up its Exchange Server.
