Download only some selected emails from gmail

For a 3 week period I have used a different machine with Thunderbird set up to read my mail as I normally use. When I went back to my usual machine I tried importing my mail database, however something went wrong. I only have my old emails, but nothing from what I received over the 3 weeks.

Thunderbird continues to sync new emails with gmail via POP, but those 3 weeks are missing and not being downloaded. Is it possible to download specific emails without downloading all my emails all over again (and sorting them out in my inbox, again)?

You already asked this question, so I'm not sure why you asked it again. Please keep all responses in one question so that the continuity is not lost. Hopefully the instructions I put in other question will resolve the situation,
