Re :''when I reconnected to gmail it started sucking in every email I have ever sent or received into one big all mail folder.'' Please note: you do not have to subscribe to see the 'All Mail' folder and if you have deselected it in the webmail account, it will no longer be available in list. Right click on imap mail account name in Folder Pane and select 'Subscribe' Obviously you see the 'All Mail' folder. If you do not want to see the 'All Mail' folder in Thunderbird then uncheck 'show in imap'. Make sure all the necessary Labels have the 'Show in imap' selected.
You should see a list of the 'System Labels' and below them a list of your 'Labels' that you created. If you logged on to your gmail webmail account via a browser, do you see folders (gmail calls them Labels) and do they contain emails ? Gmail knows that this is not exactly user friendly, so they apply a type of filter - they apply 'Labels' to emails so they can 'appear' in other more useful 'folders' eg: Inbox. Gmail keeps all your emails, incoming,sent, archived - the lot, in the 'All Mail' folder.
