Recent limit of 10,000 emails in my inboxes

more options

Until recently, my AOL, Netscape and Yahoo accounts in TB all displayed all emails in my inbox, some 40,000+ for each account. Then suddenly, first my AOL account, then the Netscape account and now the Yahoo accounts are all limited to 10,000 emails in the inbox on TB. They all still reside on the web based programs, AOL, Netscape (AOL), and Yahoo. Years of emails just vanished. I tried deleting and re loading my AOL account hoping to repopulate it with the web based emails in the inbox but it came back with the most recent 10,000. I used the inbox like a search engine for subjects, attachments and correspondents in the past and that is all but impossible on the web based programs. Is there any way to return to the all inclusive storage of emails, especially to repopulate from the web based programs?

Chosen solution

To get more than 10,000 emails in your inbox folder from AOL you must change your IMAP server to export.imap.aol.com

And all my 10,000++ emails are in TB

change back to server imap.aol.com and again only 10,000 emails are visible.
