how to increase number of emails retained in apple mail on macbook

I just added my imap email account back onto my macbook after a recent wipe of the operating system. I am now only able to look back at a week's worth of emails. On my phone, they are all there, unless I've deleted, but my desktop version only keeps a week. Is there a setting on my macbook that I need to adjust to increase that number or something?

MacBook, macOS 10.15

It should retrieve everything on the server.

There is no setting that controls how many emails are retained.
