It's good to have them all on the IMAP email server, of course, in backup copies at the email service, and locally in an email program.

However, it might not be necessary for Mozilla Thunderbird to download all your new mail whenever you start it and to store gigabytes of old mail, too. Whether you use Mozilla Thunderbird only sporadically or want to preserve disk space on a mobile machine, you can set it up to store only the most recent messages on your computer. Instructions in this article apply to Mozilla Thunderbird 68.4.2 or higher on Windows 10, 8, or 7, Mac OS X 10.9 or higher, and GNU/LINUX.
