I have 2 PC's, one at home when I work from home and one at work when I'm at the office. For my work emails, I have thunderbird installed on both machines with the same settings (POP mail server).

The problem I have is that any emails I send or sometimes receive from one location do not appear at the other. For example, if I send an email from home, it doesn't show in my sent items at the office (and vice versa). Also, some emails that I receive whilst at the office do not show up at home (and vice versa).

I've scoured the internet for a solution but haven't had any luck finding an answer to my exact issue. The last thing I tried to do was to delete "global-messages-db.sqlite" and re-index, as said to do on this page https://www.systoolsgroup.com/updates/thunderbird-not-downloading-new-messages/amp/ but that doesn't seem to have fixed anything =(

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

A POP account only downloads the Inbox, and all other folders such as Sent are stored on the local computer. If messages are deleted from the server after download, the default, they are not available on other computers with the account set up as POP. Add the account as IMAP on all devices (desktops with TB, phones, tablets) to synchronize all actions and folders over all devices.
