I see at least 3 possibilities. Some (LAU) emails are either: - being discarded by Google before they reach your Gmail account; or - being moved/discarded within your Gmail account, but not due to Thunderbird; or - being moved/discarded locally (e.g. within Thunderbird or its local mailstore), and because Thunderbird is syncing its state to your Gmail account on Google's server via IMAP2, the moves/discards are also reflected when you log in to the Gmail web interface. To rule out the third possibility above, you could try leaving Thunderbird, including any background mailbox sync, switched off for a while - perhaps a few weeks. (Likewise any other email clients you may use for your Gmail account.) During that time, you would have to access Gmail solely via the web interface.

In principle that shouldn't cause deletions.

(If not, there's a (small) risk of corruption in transit - e.g. an MITM. Would be v. weird for an MITM to delete LAU emails, though, so this probably isn't the problem here.) >> Also check: >> >> - Is your Thunderbird up to date?
