As far as I can see, it's a gmail-specific and POP-specific feature.

Hi Richard,

Just catching up with emails in this folder, hence the very late response.

You have set up the GMail account in TB! as a POP3 account (not an IMAP4 
account).  This means that as TB! has not messages already from this mail 
server it will go and download everything in the InBox from start to end, 
and that is exactly what you are reporting TB! to be doing.

NOTE:  Be aware that TB!, using its default settings, can then possibly 
delete all messages from the mail server (GMail in this case) older than 30 
days!!!

I'd not heard of the "recent:" prefix before, and haven't Googled about it, 
but I suspect, based on some of the other replies, that it may be an IMAP4 
feature.

Hope that helps?

Regards,
Richard L de S Clauson

Thanks for your detailed instructions and the effort you put into send the 
instructions. 

The technique didn't work for "New messages only"; it brought down 400-500 
messages for from 2014. Even if I had TB download "All Messages" it brought 
down a newer 400-500 messages from 2014. 

So I went into the original GMail account and archived all messages earlier 
than yesterday. Now the downloading for that account is only downloading recent 
messages as I would expect it to.

Once again, thanks for your input.

Strange. It works for my old gmail account that I rarely use. 
Previously fetched emails last May. Just fetched mails and the created 
dates range from 09/12/2018 to today.

I think "recent:" only means that the client (TB! in this case) should
download mails that have already been viewed by other clients. So, I
am surprised that all the old mails were being downloaded when you
took it out... Google works in mysterious ways.

Try this: Account / Dispatcher / New messages only

TB! will download all headers of mails it would download; download
would start if you hit that botton on the top left. However, don't do
that. You have four columns (Read, Receive, Delete, Open), and they
can be toggled with crtl-1, crtl-2 etc.

Leave the tickmark at Read for all messages but hit crtl-2 to clear
the tickmark from Receive. The effect is that TB! will mark all
messages as Read, so it won't download them again next time, but it
won't actually download any messages.

You can go to the bottom and manually click and add the tickmark again
on those messages that you do want to receive now. Only those will be
downloaded.

Now, hit that down-arrow on the top-left corner.

This is how it works with "normal" POP accounts. It should work with
Gmail, but who knows what other "user-friendly" unintuitive ideas
Google has come up with.

Thanks. That didn't work.

I had "recent:" there already. I took it out. Closed down TB and
rebooted my machine. Went into TB and downloaded another batch
(without the "recent:") and got another 500ish circa 2014 emails.

I put "recent:" back, closed down TB and rebooted my machine. I
downloaded another batch and got another 500ish circa 2014 emails.

At Account | Properties | Transport, in the "Receive Mail" part of the
tab, prefix your gmail username or email address with "recent:" (no
quotes and no spaces). Then you only get the last 30 days or so of
emails.
