Old messages

Most of my accounts are yahoo or gmail IMAP.
The oldest mail is not all in the accounts I have in Poppeeper. Some matches the web logged in account exactly.
Is there a way to go back and retrieve all the messages back to the beginning of the account?
In addition I would like to retrieve folders if it doesn't modify how the poppeeper interface looks and feels.
Thanks,
TJP

POP Peeper will retrieve all the messages in the folder by default, but the number can be restricted. Check under Tools / Options / Message retrieval, or for per-account setting, edit the account and check under the "advanced" page (if it's not there, enable "advanced options" under main menu: Tools / Options / General).

Another possibility is that the message you're looking for is hidden (ie. filtered as junk or other reasons), so you may want to temporarily disable main menu: Messages / Enable display filters.

As for accessing folders -- this requires either Pro or the Plus Pack and the interface won't change -- folders are added just like regular accounts.
