Sorry idk if this is the right place to ask.

Struggling with retrieving my offline emails!

Changed the server info and password but email is the same.

    POP3 or IMAP? Desktop or Android?

    If IMAP, are you sure your local folders are actually local?

    Edit: By local I mean in the “Local Folders” tree not under your domain tree where the inbox is.

      It’s IMAP and I think I set to keep local but you’re making me doubt myself. Thunderbird settings are worded in a confusing manner

        Even if you say to keep a local copy, I do not think it is truely an independent local copy unless you actually move it to “Local Folders”. Otherwise it is probably just a local replica.

        No expert with IMAP, though I have used Thunderbird for decades, I have just switched to IMAP myself in the past year.
