thunderbird + imap + folders

[Felix Dorner <felix_do@web.de>]

Hello,

I let my email provider handle to move certain messages to certain 
folders. Now, when Thunderbird fetches mail, it appears to only fetch 
those that are in the "Inbox" folder. The 113 new Messages in the 
debian-users(:-) folder are only fetched when I click on that folder in 
thunderbird. having 10 folders or so this is quite nasty. I know I could 
probably let thunderbird manage the sorting of messages, but I think, 
that it is much more comfortable to let the mailserver do that, since I 
am not dependent of the mail client. How does everybody deal with this 
problem?
