I have my University of FLorida (UF) email downloaded in thunderbird. It is IMAP so whenever i delete something on the UF website it then deletes in Thunderbird and vice-versa. I am now experiencing for the first time in years a few emails missing in Thunderbird, but that are in the UF website. See for example the email below from PC-Progress I received yesterday (5/16th) at 10:28 am. It shows on the website under imbox, but not in Thunderbird. When in Thunderbird I put the PC-progress email in the search box it founds the email (see screenshot below), but when I click on it it goes to the conversation and the email is not there. Any suggestion?

Ok I clicked on Archive in thunderbird and it solved the problem. As soon as I clicked it syncronized the archive. I archived those emails. Any reason I needed to click on Archive? shouldn't it sync by itself?

Right click on 'Archives' folder and select 'Properties' Is this checkbox selected: 'When getting new messages for this account, always check this folder' If no, then select the checkbox and click on OK.
