Thank you. The "show only subscribed folders" was unchecked so I checked
it and then was able to subscribe to the missing folders. Strange as I
thought that if this was unchecked, then, as you said, I would
automatically be subscribed to all folders. Doesn't matter. At least I
can keep Evolution now. Thanks again.
