Maybe I have just missed this the whole time using gmail, but in the
event in Evolution you did a Select All + Del. How would you recover? I
know Gmail keeps things in the trash for 30 days, so I guess this
what-if scenario would be easily noticed in this time period, but what

Hi,
for what it's worth, I have the All Mails disabled on the Gmail side

Hi,
I do not think Thunderbird import imports also local caches, it imports
