In my email-access (any: t-online, web, gmx) I have some messages in the sent folder, due to messages I sent via the browser-access. Now I want to have these (older) messages incl. attachments downloaded into all my thunderbird accounts. In the PC-program I only see sent folders made by thunderbird. But these are no copies of that what I find in the browser. Where can I start something like 'sync'?

You need IMAP not POP email to see folders other than the Inbox. Pop only connects to the Inbox.
