How to prevent Thunderbird to download all emails after fresh install?

  • 772

I have installed Thunderbird on my Ubuntu machine and connected my gmail account and Thunderbird started to download all my emails (2353 emails)

How to prevent this from happening. I don't want to download all my mails. 10 or 20 last mails is more than enough!

Is there some option to change this?

    Never used it but try this settings:

    1. Open thunderbird
    2. Click on the email account you wish to limit synchronization
    3. Select View Settings for this account under Account section
    4. InSynchronization & Storage look at Disk Space and select Synchronize the most recent. Choose a number of days.
