I was connect Gmail and Outlook in Thunderbird. The first problem is that I can't copy the folder to my Outlook account.

The next problem is when I open the Gmail IMAP folder then sort and copy all the emails to Outlook account, the emails are copied in Outlook only partially after that it all stops. Then the status becomes downloading email from Outlook. Some emails do have 25 MB attachments and that should be fine. In total the folders I want to copy to Outlook are 1.8 GB.

How do I get all my copied emails to go to Outlook? Is there any solution for this problem?

From watching various posts here, uploading to IMAP is always a challenge, as IMAP wasn't designed for uploads. However, if you do a web search for 'upload to IMAP', you will find a number of specialized proprietary tools that do just that one task, so that may be a better alternative than attempting with Thunderbird. But this comment is based solely on my observations, as I have never attempted that.
