I can only see my emails on one PC, in Thunderbird
My problem is that I can only see my old Yahoo emails from my laptop, Thunderbird.
If I try to view them using webemail on the same PC, the Inbox is empty. If I try to view them using webmail or Thunderbird from another PC, laptop, my Inbox is empty.
I would like to restore my old emails to all of my devices.
Tnx

It sounds like Thunderbird is set to use POP. This would download messages to Thunderbird, and then delete them from the server, giving the situation you describe.
Add a new account to Thunderbird, enter the same yahoo address but select IMAP instead of POP. If Thunderbird doesn't recognise this as an account which offers both POP and IMAP then you will need to find the settings for IMAP on your mail provider's website and enter them manually when setting up the new account.
When you have both IMAP and POP variants of the same account, you can start moving messages from the POP to the IMAP. You can drag and drop, but it's better IMHO to use right click and "Copy to:" .
