Random E-mails missing from Inbox

I have a gmail account and all E-mails are forwarded to a roadrunner account. The E-mails in the roadrunner account are downloaded using POP3.

I am now setting up Thunderbird, and connect it to the roadrunner account using IMAP. For some reason, several forwarded E-mails in roadrunner Thunderbird Inbox are missing. They are, however, showing on the roadrunner Server. (They are also still in the gmail account).

To troubleshoot, is there some way to "refresh" the inbox or download the messages again??

I am running Betterbird v. 115.14.0-bb31 (64-bit) - Portable

To respond to my own post: I hit F5 while have the roadrunner inbox selected, but no new E-mails showed up. (However the statusbar shows that E-mails in the gmail account were downloaded...!?).

I closed and reopened Thunderbird (Betterbird). The E-mail are now there in the roadrunner inbox..

I don't understand; do I need to close/reopen Thunderbird periodically to get missing E-mails..??
