Hello forum and more experienced elders. I am having problems with syncing of Gmail in Thunderbird. I am missing some fundamental understanding and searching for my problems seems to give me different results which don't seem relevant. I'll try to summarize my questions below.
1) Can i have my Gmail Web-mail folders sync to Thunderbird using POP3 settings? I don't wish to use IMAP settings, is this possible?
In Thunderbird i have used the
"Get Mail" option, I am using POP3 settings, i have emails dating from 2011 - 2013 however
am missing the remaining more up to date emails. Is this because the inbox is full?
Also my sent & inbox mail are all together mixed in the inbox of Thunderbird.
2) How can i import my Gmail folders as they are in webmail into Thunderbird?
3) Within
"Gmail Forwarding and POP/IMAP settings", I have the option
"Enable POP for all mail (even mail that's already been downloaded)",
"2. When messages are accessed with POP" selected to
"deleted Gmail's copy".
"Disable IMAP"How can I return to Gmail web-mail so I may start from the beginning and delete my Thunderbird account without losing my data and do things properly. Assuming that i should export Thunderbird mail back to basic Google web-mail?
Your Samaritan interest is deeply appreciated.
