I don't have a clear fix on this so read what others write at link to follow.

I am using Apple mail v. 5.3 (1283) and wanted to move something from my "Sent" folder. I find only one message there from 2013, and it's not the one I was looking for. (I don't check it often) What is the problem. I have looked at the Preferences and don't see any mention of anything that would help. Is there a maximum number that are saved there? "Mail" used to show how many messages were in each folder. I wish it still did. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
