If it is a client issue, than thats fine.
it is
But then i wonder what the vmail/domain.com/email_name/Maildir/cur folder is for, because in there i can find the inbox of the last 14 days. Cant my emails be stored there for a longer (or infinite) time? It is not really an issue that i need to save my emails locally, but when i log in on a webclient to view emails, i dont see all emails, and when i installed my new computer a few weeks ago, i did also not have all my emails (since they are no longer on the server)
normally POP3 is configured to delete received messages after some days/weeks and it is not smart to disable this becuase if you have your local mailarchive and get a new computer you will receive ALL your mails again
Awnsering to an earlier reply: I am using pop3, not imap. Is it wise to change to imap? or shouldnt i bother that not all emails are stored on the server?
nobody can answer this for you
And how do i change pop3 to imap?
you can't you have to create a new mail-account and select IMAP in your client
and lastly, when i were to change from pop3 to imap, how big are the changes that i mess up completely and i break the email server (which is a major problem)
depends on the storage of your server, on teh amount of mails, on the size of mails
these are all questions that NOBODY can answer for you maybe the admin of your mailserver can, hopefully you are not
