Contents of attached PDF ( IMAP_and_Subscribing_to_Folders.pdf ): How IMAP Works in Relation to Subscribing to Folders in an Email Client IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) is a standard email protocol that allows you to access and manage your email on a remote mail server. Unlike POP (Post Office Protocol), which downloads emails to your local device, IMAP keeps your emails on the server, enabling you to access and manage them from multiple devices.
When using an IMAP email client like Thunderbird, you can subscribe to specific folders. Subscribing to a folder means you want the email client to display that folder and synchronize its contents with the server.
IMAP allows for seamless synchronization and management of emails and folders across multiple devices. Subscribing to folders in an email client like Thunderbird ensures that you can see and interact with specific folders, keeping your email experience consistent and organized across all your devices.
Show only subscribed folders: With IMAP accounts, folders are kept on the server. In cases where the server contains folders for other functions, such as notes, there will be a folder for that function. By default, Thunderbird only shows the folders you have subscribed to. Disable this setting to make Thunderbird display all folders on the server. To select which folders you see, right-click on the account in the folder pane, and select Subscribe.
