Folder structure on Thunderbird

Hello,

I am in the process of linking my mail account via Thunderbird on my computer. However, I can no longer see my normal folder structure. However, if I link my account via my Android phone using the Thunderbird app, I have the option of selecting so-called special folders (see attachment screenshot 1). If I then select INBOX, my usual folder structure can be accessed again in the linked mail account on my phone (screenshot 2). Why don't I have this option in Thunderbird on my computer? Perhaps I thought I was using an outdated version of Thunderbird on my computer, but I cannot see the version number and cannot check whether I can update Thunderbird or not.

Best regards, Dr. Jan-Christian Raabe

Hallo, ich bin gerade dabei, mein E-Mail-Konto über Thunderbird auf meinem Computer zu verknüpfen. Allerdings kann ich meine normale Ordnerstruktur nicht mehr sehen. Wenn ich jedoch mein Konto über mein Android-Telefon mit der Thunderbird-App verknüpfe, habe ich die Möglichkeit, sogenannte Spezialordner auszuwählen (siehe Anhang Screenshot 1). Wenn ich dann INBOX auswähle, kann ich im verknüpften Mailkonto auf meinem Handy wieder auf meine gewohnte Ordnerstruktur zugreifen (Screenshot 2). Warum habe ich diese Option nicht in der Thunderbird Software auf meinem Computer? Vielleicht dachte ich, dass ich eine veraltete Version von Thunderbird auf meinem Computer verwende, aber ich kann die Versionsnummer nicht sehen und nicht überprüfen, ob ich Thunderbird aktualisieren kann oder nicht. Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Dr. Jan-Christian Raabe

Servus Jan-Christian,

Screenpic 1 shows folder mapping options. Would you please post an image of what you see after you press "Weiter"?
