 ===== Tips and Tricks =====
+==== Some mailbox folders are not visible in Thunderbird via IMAP ====
+**Symptom: **Some mailbox folders are not visible in Thunderbird via IMAP but they are visible via webmail interface
+**Cause: **If you create folder outside the Thunderbird (via webmail or via another computer), you must subscribe to the new IMAP folders later
+Detailed explanation is available here: [[https://www.liquidweb.com/kb/how-to-subscribe-to-imap-folders-in-thunderbird/|"How to Subscribe to IMAP Folders in Thunderbird"]]
+**Step #1:** Open IMAP Folder Subscriptions
+   * Right-click on your email account’s Inbox in Thunderbird and then select Subscribe from the menu list.
+  * In the **Folder List**  window, you will see a list of all the email folders in your account on the server. Folders to which you already are subscribed will appear with a check mark.

+**Step #2:**  Manage IMAP Folder Subscriptions
+  * You can manage your folder subscriptions by clicking on the folder name in the Folder List window and then using the Subscribe or Unsubscribe buttons on the right.
+  * Once you’ve finished making changes, click the OK button. It may take a few moments for the folder list to update in your Mail pane.
+**Note: **//When subscribing to filtered mail folders such as Spam or Junk, all the mail coming into those folders on the server also will be downloaded and synced to your selected local mail client as well. If you are using a metered Internet connection or have limited bandwidth, please be aware that the transfer of email does count toward your data usage. If you typically receive a large volume of such filtered mail, subscribing to spam and junk folders is not recommended.//

 Maybe at some point you drag one tab out and that generated the new window.
-Then the problem is that Thunder Bird will keep memory of that and next time will open two windows, but both containing the main tab.\\
