To change how messages are downloaded, set synchronization options for the account and for individual folders. If you don't synchronize a folder, the message header will still be displayed in Thunderbird, but the message content will only be downloaded when you click on the message header. This allows you to define which folder should be synchronized. If you want to see all your Gmail labels and messages in Thunderbird but prefer to avoid all the messages being downloaded to your system, you may want to tweak the synchronization settings. However, the Gmail label (Thunderbird folder) will not be displayed. They will also be included in search results. Messages will still be downloaded and available through the "All Mail" folder. Uncheck any folders that you don't want to display in Thunderbird. To configure folder display, right-click on the account name and select Subscribe.

Similarly, if you move a message to a folder in Thunderbird, Gmail will create a label with the folder name and assign it to the message. When you apply a label to a message in Gmail, Thunderbird creates a folder with the same name as the label and stores the message in that folder. In this implementation, Gmail labels become Thunderbird folders. Gmail uses a special implementation of IMAP.
