To ensure that folders created via IMAP are also visible in your email client, you need to subscribe to them manually.

Creating a Folder

You can create a new folder by right-clicking on the "Account/Folder" option and then selecting "Create Folder" from the context menu.

Note: punctuation or special characters cannot be used when creating the folder. However, hyphens (-) and underscores (_) are allowed.
