Inbox not populating with emails

I am using Thunderbird 91.11.0 and have set up an imap account. I am not a computer programmer. It appears that I have set up the program correctly, as I am able to send and receive emails. However the Inbox appears empty. The only way I know that it isn't is that I have set up an imap account on my iPhone (Gmail) and it shows the emails that should be in my inbox. I have scoured the settings for something I'm missing but can't find anything. Any suggestions?

My suggestion is to right-click on account and click the subscribe feature and see if the inbox is selected.

It was, and is. I tried unsubscribing and re-subscribing but alas that didn't do it either. I'm perplexed.
