How do I leave a copy of emails in my Plus.net web mail in box, so I can see remotely when travelling?

Plus.net is my email provider. I want emails to push from Plus.net server into Thunderbird inbox. This works successfully. However I work away a lot and use another computer, so I want to be able to see my emails on Plus.net webmail remotely. However emails in Mozilla inbox, do not appear in Plus.net webmail inbox. I have set Mozilla email account up with Imap server settings. How do I leave a copy on Plus.net server, so I can see away from home? Thanks

IMAP by default leaves messages on the server. IMAP is server based email. You view the messages remotely with email clients on your devices. If you delete a message from any devices it is deleting it from the server. Make sure your account with your provider is IMAP and the clients on all devices are setup as IMAP.

Account set up as Imap and email accounts set up as Imap. Not deleted any emails. They appear in Thunderbird inbox, but not visible when logging into Plus.net webmail remotely? Plus.net cannot offer support as Mozilla is not their software.
