I have several email accounts that I have put into Apple Mail including Yahoo.com as an IMAP account.
I was searching the Yahoo account on my Mac and noticed that the inbox
only as the past 6 months emails. Nothing is being archived and nothing
has been deleted on the server (at least not in past few years) as in
Yahoo webmail I can go back to 2012.
There is no quota limit on the account.
I assume there's a Mail setting I'm missing?
Gmail and iCloud have no cut off on the inbox.

Are you using MacOS, iPadOS or IOS? I seem to remember that there is a setting
in the latter two that limits how far back emails are displayed. You can set a
limit from quite a shorr time to no limit; one of the settings, IIRC, is six months.
I cannot find any such limit in MacOS. Presumably it is to save storage space,
so it's not likely to be needed there.
