I use Thunderbird for 5 different email accounts. Sometime ago (not sure when) one of my accounts suddenly starting deleting emails from my inbox when they are a couple of weeks old. The sent box is not affected and none of the other accounts are affected. I have been through and checked all the settings to make sure nothing is set to auto delete. Is there a way I can recover my old emails and then stop the system auto deleting them?
