Use Yahoo mail on the web. Didn't use my Thunderbird for a long time, so the Sent folder ends where I left off last year. Recently started using it again, but all of the Sent messages during that time are staying in the Yahoo sent folder. How do I populate them to my laptop app? Thanks! Ann

If the account is set up as POP in TB, only the Inbox is downloaded. To access other folders, including Sent, the account should be set up as IMAP in TB, and the folders must be subscribed, i.e. synced in TB.

If the account is currently POP, save the messages, remove the POP account, then add it as IMAP.
