The technical way is: In your account settings in your email client, there will be an option to leave messages on the server. In Thunderbird, it's Account settings> Server settings > Leave messages on server (checkbox). If that is all unchecked, then that means you're downloading them.


The quick and easy way is: To disconnect the internet and open your email client and see if your old messages are there!
