Product: Claws Mail (GTK 2) Reporter: mark

A few of my subfolders no longer appear.
For example, I have this:

$ ls -h .email/Commercial/
10  11  12  13  14  15  16  17  18  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  Debenu  DiffPDF(c)  MyCommerce  Sales  Support

But today in the user interface I only have:

.email (MH)
    Inbox
    ...
    Commercial
        DiffPDF(c)

Whereas yesterday I had

.email (MH)
    Inbox
    ...
    Commercial
        Debenu
        DiffPDF(c)
        MyCommerce
        Sales
        Support

Claws knows that these folders are there: I tried creating Sales again and it refused.

For the time being I'm creating subfolders MyCommerce2 etc., but I wish claws would find the existing folders!

Right-click the top-level mailbox folder and choose 'Check for new folders' and/or 'Rebuild folder tree'.

If you can describe how this was triggered then re-open this with the description.

Thank you for your quick reply: I did "Rebuild folder tree" as you suggested and it fixed the problem.
