[QUOTE="iBlueDragon, post: 1346818, member: 230254"] So, I did some more testing and googleing... There seem to be two issues: 1. Language Issue: The mailboxes under 'Mailboxes' on the top connect to the correct folders on the server, no matter of their name (English or German). So everything is working fine there. But the inbox folder listed under my server account was obviously looking for a folder on the server with name inbox. But as the folder has a German name, it did not find it. After I changed the name of that folder on the server, I saw my inbox incl. the subfolders under my server account as well. So it's a strange thing that a folder named 'inbox' showed up in the first place, because before I renamed it on the server such a folder did not exist. 2. General Issue of Mail connecting to Exchange: I found a thread on the Apple support forums, where many others using Lion have problems with 'loosing' folders when connecting to an Exchange server. While I never saw all my folders that are on the server (like drafts) in the first place, this basically seems to be the same issue. So for now I am waiting for an update and will probably disable the exchange account for mail (but keep it for calendar and contacts) and re-add it as an IMAP account (a workaround suggested in the support forum). But actually I am a little bit disappointed - especially as it seems to have worked fine with Mail in Snow Leopard (as far as I have learned from the forums). CU iBlueDragon [/QUOTE]
