Is this on the Android version perhaps and is misdirected to the desktop forum? I understand it has some limitations regarding number of mail in folders.

The desktop program has no limit. I have folders with over a quarter of a million emails in them.

Or is you account with Yahoo who have limits on how many email they will synchronize on an IMAP account? I think it is 10,000
