Hello, new to Thunderbird and just installed; so far added two gmail accounts and initial sync is complete. One account has 9045 emails in the 'all mail' folder but gmail has 9523. All the other folders in the account match the number of emails with gmail--also the other account appears to have synced perfectly.

Why is Thunderbird missing ~500 emails in the 'all mail' folder? Thank you so much.

Nevermind. I am abandoning Thunderbird. Yesterday, it gave me trouble adding a Gsuite account (it seemed to revolve around not using Oauth2 to add the account); today is the ~500 email sync issue; and now I cannot add a live.com account because the credential authorization process doesn't work for personal accounts.

I just want to manage my email, not manage my email client to get it to work... Oh well, I was excited about Thunderbird.
