Hi,

We use a Business email account with gmail. This account has over 50,000 emails from the last 5 - 6 years. We were using Windows Live Mail POP email client till a few months back but now have migrated to Thunderbird. However, Thunderbird is not downloading all the emails at one time. It started with the oldest emails a few hundred at a time and it has downloaded around 20,000 messages so far. Now it is downloading 15 - 30 messages at one time.

Is there a way to force thunderbird to download all the emails at one time ?

I will appreciate any help.

Thanks & Regards

No, you can't force it. This is a limit imposed on Gmail. See https://support.google.com/a/answer/1071518?hl=en
