After the installation of TB (78.12) , almost all emails in the "received" box on my email server have been downloaded in TB , AND deleted on my email server . I suppose this due to the default value of the parameter "server parameters -> leave the messages on the server -> duing 14 days max. 

Now I changed this parameter to "until I delete them" , but I want to have again the messages available from the "received" box on my email server, in order to access them from anywhere.

How to upload again all these emails to the email ?. Thanks for your support.

It appears that you added the account as POP to TB with the default 'delete from server after download'. To access messages from other devices, it's better to add the account as IMAP. The messages that are currently in the POP Inbox can then be uploaded, gradually in limited numbers, to the IMAP Inbox, i.e. to the IMAP mail server. If you need to upload several thousand messages, there is a useful add-on.
