syncing issues with gmail
I have a laptop with windows 10 & Thunderbird 128.9.1 and a Samsung S10 using the Samsung email. Both are configured with IMAP. When I open the Samsung email to view and download emails, I can then get home and open my laptop with Thunderbird where it will also download.
If I were to log onto the Gmail through a web browser the email will show in the "all mail" label and no longer be in the inbox, unless I do the phone first and it stays in the inbox until downloaded on the laptop.
so I can't get it on the phone if the laptop is used first. Any ideas ? because logging on to Gmail through the web browser to forward it myself is a pain thanks in advance Mick

Allmail folder is just what it's name is - ALL mail. That means it includes the inbox contents, sent contents, trash contents. That is why it is the general recommendation to NOT use allmail folder, as it doubles access time, doubles disc space. If you unsubscribe from allmail folder in both phone and PC, I think you will see a more consistent view.
Hi, The only folders I have checked for Imap are sent and inbox.
That is a normal setup, so all I can offer is to check the PC's settings. The end result you describe would indicate the PC is set for POP.
Hi David, thanks anyway. It is definitely set for imap and I even deleted and reinstated the account to make sure. Its weird, it works perfectly as long as I go to the phone first. Im not working now so its less important I have email on all devices, just annoying.
