iCloud mail folders not showing up on Mac M1 Mail

I have several iCloud accounts that I track from my mail program...


On iOS and iPadOS, the mail app successfully shows me the mailbox folders I have created for ALL of the iCloud accounts.


On mail on the Mac, it is only showing me the mailbox folders for the iCloud AppleID I am logged into the Mac with. All of the other iCloud accounts in my mail show me the typical InBox, Trash, etc. but NOT the folders I created for those accounts.


I have tried rebuilding the mailboxes - did not change anything.


Thanks, TJ

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.3
