Not sure what you're asking there. Thunderbird will access all your mail. Since
you're using gmail, all the mail stays on the server and Thunderbird keeps a local
cache for quick access.
Well, while what you say is true, the OP may be like me. While I do have email sorted to
folders I don't want to
keep some emails past a given period of time. (this account is on gmail servers) I
don't have the discipline triage.
And I just don't want to see them any longer or be tempted to scroll through emails
from 2018. :-) :-)
So, I use the nice feature of T-Bird.
Right-Click on the folder you wish to manage. Pick "Retention Policy" And tell
T-Bird to delete messages
after a given number of days. I manage folders individually rather than a single
"account setting".
