My email is only showing 1 month of archived emails both inbox and sent items. How do I get mozzilla to upload past emails I've sent and received?

I have sent past emails that are needed to reforward to the recipients. I can't figure out how to pull from the archived messages so I can view and or reforward. Please let me know how I can upload these emails and how I can have them show up on the view pane of messages. Thanks,

Randy

Troubleshooting Information from Thunderbird: Thunderbird menu: Help: Troubleshooting Information Click the "Copy text to clipboard" button. Paste (Ctrl-V), the text into your response here.

Plus, have you checked every folder and sub-folder in Thunderbird for those e-mails? Including "Local Folders"?

I've checked local files and can't seem to find them. My setting are correct in that my emails are never to be deleted. It appears though that they are being saved in my POP 3 apexautobody@comcast.net file. I'm sure they are there but how do I extract them or upload them back into the view pane of Thunderbird. Thx,

If you cannot find the old e-mails in any of the folders in Thunderbird, then they do not exist anymore in Thunderbird.

Take a look at this setting: Thunderbird menu: Tools: Account Settings Select "Disk Space" under "Local Folders" on the left side.

Do you see the same setting as I show in my screenshot below?

If it is/was set to delete messages, that's your problem.
