Hello, I set the limit of sync emails to 2 months, but it still downloads all emails for all years. Is it possible to set the limit by count? I have Thunderbird version 91.7.0 (64-біт) Thanks

the list of mails displayed and the actual messages stored locally are not the same thing. Thunderbird stores a full list of messages, it just does not download the contents of them all.

It should work as you write, but really Thunderbird stores all messages. I can see messages from a lot of years.
