Gmail does that, not Thunderbird, whether subscribed or not. That is why it is called 'all mail.'

Hello David, Thank you for your lightening fast review and reply. However, I already know that Gmail does this. I was not implicating Thunderbird. I've already tried several remedies to no avail. That is why I posted.

Your reply while fast, does not address my issues. I need relief from this BS / Nonsense duplicating emails.

Thank you.

The only solution I am aware of is to offload part of the gmail account to another account or to PC. You can't stop Gmail, as allmail is actually the only 'real' folder there. You could set up a second account, then COPY messages to the other account and then DELETE from originating account. Either that or copy to PC in Local Folders and then delete.

This is mind-boggling that T-bird cannot force Gaggle into submission. Nevertheless, I trust your expertise as I see you're a "Top 10 Contributor". If/When this bothers me enough, or causes technical issues on my machine, I will pursue your advice.

Thanks again David.

Thank you for your kind words, but Thunderbird is just an email client, standing to the sidelines, sending and receiving per user server settings. It is actually quite stupid, and that is its strength. The focus of developers is more on making updates as needed to stay in compliance with whatever Google does, not the other way around. :) Take care.
