Is there a way to find all today's emails regardless whether folder is subscribed or not

Is there a way to search ALL emails for everything received in the last 1 day, last 3 days etc, whether or not the folder is subscribed?

I just had a big problem finding particular new emails. The reason was that that somehow the folder had got unsubscribed. This shocked me because I hadn't even realised I needed to subscribe to folders to search them.

In a practical sense the problem is therefore fully solved and all I need to do is to make sure I'm subscribed to everything. But I find it disturbing that anything could undermine the very simple search of what emails I received today. So I'd like to understand if there is indeed any way to see all of today's emails without any exception.

The search I was using was "Age in days in less than 2" and I was doing this both with "Run search on server" ticked and unticked. The emails are all there on the server, so surely there must be a way to see them in a raw naked state before they are sorted into folders? I guess the global search is able to do just that, but as far as I can see it doesn't seem able to search by any kind of date range (can filter but not search).

Subscribing is the step that is vital before Thunderbird can access it. Therefore, you can't search folders to which you are not subscribed.
