How do I retrieve pop3 synchronised emails

Hi, I use thunderbird but due to some problem I had to configure my email to Gmail pop3 email from another laptop. I just then realised that the synchronisation is actually deleting all emails from thunderbird.

How can I retrieve the emails and restore in thunderbird?


Will my local folder have the backup of the emails?

Can you please help! It is very urgent

There is no synchronization between devices when you use POP so I am not sure what you are talking about there. Why did you not configure the gmail account as IMAP? Did you configure Thunderbird to save copies in Local Folders? If not, then No. Do you have more details on what you did and what you are trying to accomplish?
