A small question about setting up POP mail accounts in Mail 5 of Lion. I've done a clean install and are trying to set up the mail accounts again. The @me account seems to work fine but my old Hotlmail account is causing some issues. Mail will only download the first 52 messages from the server.

I expected some kind of setting to retrieve the rest of them but I can't seem to find it. Whatever I try it will only show the messages till last month.

There are some old messages that are rather important that are still on the server but I can't seem to get them to the mail app. For searching purposes I would like all mail to be on the Mac too.

With Snow Leopard I didn't seem to have this problem. All messages would be retrieved from the server (only the inbox of course, not the maps as I know that won't work with a POP account). Anyone else experiencing this issue?
