Thunderbird unable to cope with my emails which are synced to my gmail account

Stephen Fuhrer

Hello, I synced all my gmails to thunderbird (many). When I tried to archived some messages, I found they are in my main inbox. The all mail folder does not contain them. I am trying to restore allmail to contain everything. Thunderbird keeps crashing, it seems like it is crushed by the load of my messages. Further, the archived messages are now missing from my gmail account. Please help! Thank you, Steve

Does problem change? If yes, how did it change?

Thunderbird is installed on a linux machine, not windows. Please advise. Thanks, Steve
