In the left pane of Thunderbird, my GMail account e-mail address is listed and under it is "Inbox", "Drafts", "Sent" and "Deleted". When I access GMail via the web interface, there are other directories ("labels") such as "SMS". How can I get these to appear in Thunderbird?
According to this source, Gmail uses a special implementation of IMAP. In this implementation, Gmail labels become Thunderbird folders. When you apply a label to a message in Gmail, Thunderbird creates a folder with the same name as the label and stores the message in that folder. Similarly, if you move a message to a folder in Thunderbird, Gmail will create a label with the folder name and assign it to the message.
You should switch to IMAP if you're using POP3 and, in "Server Settings" for the GMail account, select "Advanced..." and then uncheck "Show only subscribed folders".
