How are you connecting to the remote server? IMAP? POP? Exchange?

If IMAP, then do Folder -> Subscriptions, select the server and then
subscribe to the relevant folder.

If POP, you can't - the POP protocol doesn't know about anything other
than the Inbox

If Exchange, then it should all be there automatically.
