I changed from IMAP to POP on an existing account and need all emails from my subfolders to download to Thunderbird. Is there a way to do this?

Let me start off with this: I've only been using Thunderbird for about 3 months so I'm already lacking in training. Having said that, my office-mate's predecessor set up her email account as IMAP and the company prefers POP. The server side is full and she can't receive emails. I checked the forums, backup up her profile using Mozback (just in case), deleted the email accounts and then added back fresh the ones I want to keep. Now-only the emails in her inbox (on the I/O Com server online) have downloaded to Thunderbird. There are subfolders in the inbox but none of those or the contents of them will download, as well as her "sent" emails and such. Is there a way to get everything to download to TBird? Is there maybe a way to restore her old profile and keep all the emails but NOT the IMAP setup?
