I tried both options under account settings both delete all emails over 50,000 and tried delete emails older then 1000 days.  Thunderbird is still loading emails well past both the number and the amount of days ago.  In addition before it said I had roughly a little over 100k emails, and now it says downloading message header 1 of 431,000 at the bottom.  The only other thing I did was click an option that popped up saying it fixed most problems with emails not loading properly by fixing the folder or something like that.  I cannot find the option again however anywhere.  In addition now that it is loading over 400k emails, it has emails at the top of the date saying from today at all different times which are 100% old emails so I have no idea what is going on or how to fix.  Any help would be GREATLY appreciated as it is completely slowing down my computer and almost impossible to send an email while downloading. Thanks so much! </p>",thunderbird;email-and-messaging;,thunderbird,email-and-messaging,en-US,1689137;,andrewconticchio

Thunderbird is creating new labels or folders based only on the ones included in the Message Filters. The other labels remain unchanged.
