Ntlworld email folders disappeared

Hi - I access ntlworld emails via imap on my iPhone. I can send and receive mails fine but I have lost visibility to the folders I had setup before eg. Holidays, football etc. 

Any ideas what to do. Please note that I don’t currently have access to my emails via outlook on my home pc. I have to sort that out separately.

    Sign into  webmail and confirm the missing folders are subscribed to by::

    • select ⚙ > E- Mail > Change IMAP subscriptions…
    • select  until all folder views are expanded
    • select ☐ until all are , i.e. all folder are selected
    • select Save
    • select ✉ (located top left)
    • press Ctrl + Shift + R to reload page
    • confirm any newly subscribed to folder are shown in webmail

    If the missing folder are shown in webmail then close and re-open Mail app to see they reappear there.

      Thanks for reply. I had a look on webmail but can’t see where to change imap subscriptions? I also don’t see my folders there?

  • Thanks - have tried that. Can now see the correct folders on webmail, but they are still not showing in my native mail client on my phone. Any other ideas please?

  • Update - I got this to work. Think the above steps worked. I then had to re-add on my iPhone. 

    working now - thanks for help
