Gmail inbox contents not matching Thunderbird inbox. + other oddities!

I recently installed Thunderbird (115.10.1) onto my Mac (Sonoma 14.4).

After lots of manual housekeeping and deleting/filing hundreds of emails that had appeared in my inbox (that had previously been moved into other mailboxes or deleted) I have got my inbox down to a manageable size.

But now four of the emails in my Gmail webmail inbox are not showing in my Thunderbird inbox.

I have run a repair on the folder (Thunderbird inbox) but the discrepancy remains.

How can I make sure they synchronise correctly?

Also: I have 4 old drafts in my Gmail webmail drafts which are not showing in my Thunderbird drafts folder. I created a new draft email in Thunderbird and it is not showing up in my Gmail webmail. I have tried to point Thunderbird to my Gmail drafts folder in account settings selecting: copies and folders/drafts and templates/other/drafts on [myemailaddress] but it does not seem to make any difference.

Any help much appreciated.
