I installed the current version of Thunderbird yesterday. I am using IMAP. It is only showing the emails received since yesterday - nothing older. I can see the older emails via my ISP browser based webmail interface.

I have tried recreating the account settings, synchronising All, synchronising past 5 years - but it stubbornly refuses to fetch the older emails.

What other steps can I take to resovle this?

Thanks

Are you sure that both accounts have identical email addresses, the one on your ISP webmail interface and the one you set up in Thunderbird?
