<title>Enable the Search Folders Functionality</title>

<p>In the unlikely case that there is no <gui>Search folders</gui> top-level node displayed at the bottom of the <link xref="intro-main-window#e-mail"> mail folder list</link> you have to enable the search folders functionality yourself.</p>

<list>
<item><p>Open the <app>Terminal</app> application.</p></item>
<item><p>Run the command <cmd>gsettings set org.gnome.evolution.mail enable-vfolders true</cmd></p></item>
</list>

<p>You can also use the <app>dconf-editor</app> application to do this.</p>
