To make IMAP folders visible:

1. Click on the IMAP account that you are interested in.
2. The section of the window where messages are displayed changes.

   

3. Click on the button labeled IMAP Folders.

   

4. The Show/Hide IMAP Folders window appears. On the left side you see the available IMAP accounts that are set up (the active one is highlighted). In the middle you see all the folders inside the account.
5. The folders that have the   icon beside the are the folders that are currently visible.
6. To make the folder visible, click on it then click on the button labeled Show, then click the OK button.

   
   

7. The folder should now appear listed along with the other visible folders in the main window.
