I'm participating in a mailing list handled by mailman.

As I entered it in, let's say, 20/02, I don't have on my inbox emails sent untill 19/02.

This mailing list has an archive with many and many emails, that I can access, but it has a poor interface.

In other words, to read some email, I have to click on the date it was sent, and then read it post by post.

Is there a way to save this old emails on my inbox? Recover than?

I use Thunderbird, but didn't find an extension that solve this problem for me.

Any tips?

Great question. There was one mailing list I was on a number of years ago where you could download their entire archive as an mbox. Definitely not common practice. Very few mailing list archives even have a search feature in my experience! – fideli Jul 30 '11 at 5:58
@fideli Yeah. I think all maillist shoud disponibilize its content on this (and another) formats, such that you could find what you want instead of re-send a topic that's already discussed. – Gabriel L. Oliveira Aug 1 '11 at 3:09
