installing an imap account, I downloaded 6500 messages from the account, but mishandling in account preferences (box: "delete all messages except the x most recent") made ​​me lose the majority of these messages: disk space has decreased significantly, so I think the messages are still present on my computer yet not appear in any folder in thunderbird. how do I find the missing emails?
