That is correct, for anyone interested what I do is let thunder bird download all the messages regardless of number and the number has been as high as 5000 messages when I first installed the thunder bird program. Then do a select all messages and hit the delete key then select the empty trash command and that will clear all the messages from the google site.

They would be deleted from your computer though, unless you subscribe to the Archive or All Mail folders. I'm not sure about all clients, but I know in Thunderbird, you can configure which folders you want synced on your computer. They also shouldn't be on your phone unless you go into your All Mail or Archive folder and then you'd just see the newest 50 messages in that folder. Again, this assumes you're using IMAP.
