Can't see old emails

My inbox only shows recent emails. How do I see older emails?

This is only an issue on my MacBook Pro. It is not an issue on my desktop.

Ventura 13.2.1

Thanks

IMAP accounts stay on the server and sync across devices...

For problem accounts the go to way to sort things out is to delete the account(s) from the Mail.app, then add it back.

Remove email accounts in Mail on Mac

Add email accounts in Mail on Mac - Apple Support

Note—

IMAP accounts stay on the server, so no local loss, when you re-sync

POP accounts download and remove from the server—therefor save your inbox/sent box if you want them

“On My Mac" is just that, local folders you created and moved mail into. So no loss
