In synchronization in account settings you can choose Thundrbird to
remove last but X emails. This way you have pretty clean Inbox.
The removed emails are still avaliable when searching, looking
in:everywhere (in:anywhere?) or under labels, they are just moved out
from Inbox, thats all. Old messages do not land in trash, nor are
permanently deleted in my case. It works for me this way. Check out on
some not so important account before or download and make copy of your
Inbox just in case and to see if you like what Thunderbird does.
I use it since longer while. And I'm quite happy with it. But I have
pretty rigid and rigorous filtering/labeling, so that I can find things
pretty quickly outside of Inbox.
Undoing this changes will be very laborous, think before.
Maybe sylphed/claws don't have such problem?
Cheers,
Luke

if i remember well my girlfriend had this very same problem last year
(but she uses Mail on OSX) and we could not find any solution but to
download all of them. This took days because every now and then it would
halt I dont know why. So we had to resume download again and again. She
had around five years of mails.
There was this option in gmails settings > forwarding and POP/IMAP > pop
download where you could enable/disable pop download to all mail or from
now own. But not an specific date sadly.
If you find a solution let me know... i would not like to do this ever
again, it was soo boring.

Sorry for ot - sometimes I just get tired of joining a new forum every
time I have a quick question about a new program.
Anyway - I have years of email in my gmail account and Thunderbird
insists on reading the headers for ALL of it. If there are any tbird
users out there - is there a way to make it go back only, say 2 months?
Thanks,
James
