Oh, downloading all the messages via pop is trivially easy. I wrote a
program to do that years ago.
The problem though, is that Imap changes how the messages are stored on
the server, and that means that the pop client won't get the messages
that aren't in the incoming mailbox. It's likely this means a large
majority of the messages you want to download aren't going to be
available via the pop protocol.
You can tell thunderbird to mirror the server, thereby downloading every
message, but if this isn't done at the time of client setup, I don't
know how to configure it to do so after it's already setup. Heck, I'm
having trouble getting it to see a folder I already had on the machine,
and readding that host didn't work, so I just forwarded all my email to
my main inbox, and deal with it that way. Not the solution I wanted,
but it works.
I have nothing against modern day email clients, but all the ones I've
looked at do their best to make it easier for the user, but in the
process, they remove all the functionality that made the old email
clients like pegasus or hermes so powerful. Doing what Glen wants would
be trivial with one of those.

built into them. Like Thunderbird defaults to 500. You can get it to
download more but it is quite tedious. I would be looking at a tool called
fetchmail in POP mode with keep on server option enabled to try to do a
large copy. However, it has been a long time since I used it and don't know
if it kept up with the changing mailbox formats.

I want to be able to get a lot of messages from my ISP's provided server, and
I have like twenty years of messages I have tried to download, but I only get
like three years of stuff.
Is there a client that can get all these messages?
Thanks.

pine/alpine can handle folders. I've never used mutt, but I've used
pine/alpine for many years, and except for the text interface, there's
nothing the graphical clients do that pine cannot. It's a fully
featured modern mail client, and can even handle imap mailboxes if so
desired. For pop3 email boxes, you'll need a transport agent like
getpop or something similar. I've only retrieved email via a pop mail
retriever once, and that was several years ago, so I don't know what's
out there to do the job now, but if imap is all you want, pine/alpine
can handle that just fine.

Hello,===========================================================
I don't know, if it's possible. I have many folders, I have to move
messages between folders and I don't know if console mail client can do
it. I don't have any experiences with it, I haven't any instructor who
can help me with working with that. I can install mutt, but I can't work
with that, I don't know how.
Thanks.
Best regards

There is no connection between the presence of a monitor and
accessibility issues. Try chromium and see what happens.
I cannot help with thunderbird. Have you considered a commandline e-mail
client?
