Thunderbird Won't Download Older Emails

Thunderbird 92.1.0 MacOS 10.13.6 Gmail via POP3

The problem is pretty straightforward. Thunderbird downloaded (almost) everything fine and retrieves new mail as expected. It won't download anything before 7/5/2009 while Gmail has messages going back to 2004. How can I make Thunderbird download those older messages?

if you log into your account at google there is a setting there that will be set to download everything or only mail after a date. I am guessing it is the date you mentioned. (Historically the date you enabled POP downloads on Gmail ie at the time it offers something like from now on)

This did the trick. in Gmail > Settings > Forwarding and POP/IMAP > Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded).

I must have had POP set up for an older email client years ago.

Thanks!
