I tried that tutorial steps in different combinations - with both username and e-mail instead the username, with "recent:" and without that, with tick on option "hold messages on server" and without the tick.
That exercises gave result, now I am downloading the rest of my messages in portions of 300-400 per each portion. Why I thing it may be a thunderbird's bug? Because I did not experience such problems with Outlook Express or TheBat! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to thunderbird in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943808 Title: thunderbird does not download messages from gmail Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: thunderbird does not download messages from gmail via pop3, a have app 30000 messages on gmail, thunderbird dowloaded app 18000 and showed notification "No messages to download" At beginning, Thunderbird dowloaded messages by portions of 350 messages.
