Windows 7 The Bat and Gmail

[PJ]

I have started using GMail so as to get my mail onto my iphone easily.  
I love the labels approach rather than having copies in folders.  I also 
like that threeads automaticallyt include replies without having to copy 
to the same folder.


This plays havoc with TBs unread counts as IMAP from google shows 
multiple copies.


I tried the latest thunderbird, an whilst it is vastly inferior wrt to 
many things including threading, it handles Gmail IMP much better.


Does anyone have any suggestions for making TB more gmail friendly.   I 
really don't want to leave, but after many years, TB is making my email 
life harder, not easier.


Cheers

 While not directly Gmail related, I'd love to have true IMAP labels
 implemented in TB!, see:

 No such luck, I am afraid.

 Nope. TB!'s IMAP support is broken beyond repair (and is unlikely to
 ever get fixed), and Gmail's IMAP implementation is sometimes quirky,
 too. However, Gmail is extremely popular and you'll see support for
 it getting better in major email clients (i.e. Thunderbird).
