Issue with Synchronizing Old Messages Recently Moved Back to Inbox

more options

Hello world!

I'm encountering a synchronization issue with my emails in Thunderbird and would greatly appreciate your guidance and advice. My use case is as follows:

I use Thunderbird as my primary email client to manage my Gmail account. I have a large number of messages in my Gmail inbox, and I am trying to archive older ones to free up space in the inbox and keep it manageable.

Here’s the workflow I am following:

   I archive a set of older messages from my Gmail inbox (e.g., messages older than six months).
   Later, I decide I need some of those archived messages back in the inbox. I move those selected messages back to the Inbox using Gmail’s web interface.
   I notice that Thunderbird synchronizes these 'recently moved' messages back to the Inbox, even though they are older messages, seeming to prioritize them in the synchronization process.

My issue is that these 'recently moved' but older messages appear to be treated as recent by Thunderbird, getting synchronized, while other messages that are indeed more recent (by reception date) aren't immediately synchronized.

My questions are:

   Is there a way to make Thunderbird synchronize strictly based on reception date and not on when messages were moved or modified?
   Are there specific settings I should adjust in Thunderbird to achieve this desired synchronization behavior?

I appreciate your help and guidance in advance. I've gone through the documentation and support forums but haven't found a clear answer to this specific issue

Thanks!
