You will be able to see all your messages in the folders once you set up Thunderbird, which means you can always use its search function and batch move/delete messages, et cetera.Note: These instructions were written for Thunderbird 38. What exactly are you meaning with new messages? Note that there is nothing changing when you use Thunderbird – messages will still land in your inbox. Though new messages (after the complete setup and integration of Mozilla Thunderbird with GMail), will be completely deleted from my account.
