My AOL email account is recognized in Tbird as being IMAP, and I have several folders on the AOL server, but the only folder that shows up in Tbird is the Inbox. Should I delete the account in Tbird then add it back?

I did delete then re-enter it in Tbird. To free RAM, I am going to quit Safari and Tbird then reopen it. The reason is that the folders list was still empty.

I'll come back to report on what happened when I re-booted the computer.

YES! That did it.

Never mind.
