Thanks for your reply. The web mail does support IMAP, but IMAP is not the solution for me. I have a lot of emails that I have sent from my OUTBOX that I want to save. I have to get all those emails off the webserver and onto my computer with Thunderbird. So I think I will have to use POP3 I guess, unless you say my conclusion is incorrect.

Do you know how I can transfer my sent emails from my OUTBOX from the webserver into the OUTBOX in Thunderbird in POP3?

Pop mail accounts can only access the Inbox on the server. So if you are using a Pop mail account then there is a workaround. In Thunderbird Move all emails out of Inbox into other suitable folders for organising. This makes it easy to detect the 'outbox' emails.

Logon to webmail account and move all emails from Outbox to Inbox

then in Thunderbird use Get Messages to download those emails. You can then move those emails into a suitable folder like 'Sent'.

Please note than in Thunderbird, the account Sent folder keeps a record of what was sent by you. The 'Outbox' located in Local Folders, is the Outbox for all mail accounts in Thunderbird. It is not a place to store emails. In Thunderbird, when you select 'Send', it sends email immediately and puts copy in 'Sent' folder. However, if you use 'Send Later', it puts email in 'Outbox' ready to go when you select 'Send unsent messages', at which point copies are stored in 'Sent' folder and removed from 'Outbox'.

Thank you Toad-Hall, Your solution works like a charm! I was able to save all my emails in the manner you said. Thank you for the additional information as well! Kind regards
