Is this a gmail problem or > a Thunderbird problem ? POP3 or IMAP? My Thunderbird running in IMAP works just fine at downloading messages. I would however recommend only downloading headers. If you want to download everything, that's okay too. But speed-wise it could be down to speed caps on the Gmail servers. However I'm not entirely sure on that one. As a Gmail user I've never noticed the issue you describe. > > 2. I sort all my emails into local folders using filters.

Works just fine here, have you setup the filters correctly? If you select a message that should filter into a folder and go to "Tools > Run Filters on Message" does the message move to where it is supposed to go? > I have FiltaQuilla installed.
