Spinning wheel
I am now getting a spinning wheel with annoying frequency while using/trying to use Thunderbird on my MacBook Air 2017 running Monterey. Everything was fine for the first 6-9 months, but over recent months the spinning wheel has appeared more and more frequently while I'm trying to read mail, answer mail, scroll through messages, etc., etc. Now it comes up every few minutes and delays me doing anything for about 15-30 seconds at a time. It's really frustrating. I recently ran Onyx, which was designed to clear cache, etc and make everything run smoothly. But the only program it required me to quit before it started was Thunderbird. Is there some cache or something I need to clear on a (semi-) regular basis to keep it working at a reasonable speed without this godforsaken spinning wheel interrupting everything? Thanks for any/all your help.

In the beginning of next week I'll be able to verify on my friends MacBook Pro. She has a Gmail account.
@Clive: did you test the R-click on the account folder > Subscribe > uncheck "All Mail". I tested with my friend's Gmail accounts on her MacBook Pro. You can do it , there is no risk.
Sorry, been away. I tried this (thank you and Scooter for persisting) and the mailboxes (All Mail and Important) have disappeared from Thunderbird. I have no idea if that will make things work better, since I don't know if it genuinely frees up all those gigs of space or just holds them in the background without listing the mailboxes on my screen. We shall see. The big one now is the Sent Mail mailbox. It's 3.3Gb. I would like to move all but this year's Sent Mail to another mailbox where they can be stored but don't take up space in the program. Is there any way I can extract thousands of emails from Sent Mail and move them somewhere else where I can still access them if I need them? Thanks again.
Unsubscribing should remove those folders from your local drive.
To archive your sent mail, back up your profile in case something goes wrong.
Then find the folder "ImapMail" in your profile (not the back-up copy of your profile). Copy the "Sent" folder to where you want to store it. Then return to Thunderbird and delete all the messages in that folder. Wait a long time for the deletions to be synchronized with the server.
What is the status of the spinning wheel and the delays now?
