Sent folder only syncing 2,000 messages instead of 6,124 (Yahoo IMAP)

Hi everyone,

I have a Yahoo IMAP account set up in Thunderbird. My Inbox is syncing perfectly, but I have an issue with the Sent folder.

On Yahoo Webmail, my Sent folder has 6,124 emails, but in Thunderbird, only 2,000 emails are synced. At the bottom status bar, Thunderbird shows this message:

(4,124) deleted messages

It seems like Thunderbird thinks those 4,124 messages are deleted, even though they are still visible and intact on Yahoo Webmail.

Has anyone experienced this issue before? Is there a way to fix this so Thunderbird can sync all 6,124 Sent emails properly?

Thanks in advance for your help!
