I use eM Client and something odd happened today. I hadn't checked my email in four or five days so I decided to do it this morning. I started deleting the emails that I didn't need and I got as far back as April and I wasn't getting to the end of the new emails I wanted to delete. Knowing that I deleted the emails the last time I used eM Client I decide to check how far back I had to go. eM Client download all of my emails all the way back to 2021. I've had eM Client redownload emails before but only for a few days back. Anyone else ever have this happen?

Since email clients are just go-betweens, I suspect that your email ISP has caused this. Perhaps they carried out some maintenance on their database that accidentally marked the whole lot as being new mail.
