I'm trying to have Thunderbird grab mail from Outlook and GMail but am not being completely successful. Would like to have everything Outlook downloads pushed to Gmail mailboxes by Thunderbird. BELIEVE I have as many mailboxes from Outlook mapped to GMail boxes, but some Outlook email boxes (in Thunderbird) continue to fill up: Sent Mail, Sent Mail, Junk, and Deleted.

Can someone help me straighten this out?

BTW. Looked in my Outlook.live.com DELETED folder. Have about 750 of these:

Retrieval using the IMAP4 protocol failed for the following message: 10559

The server couldn't retrieve the following message:

What does that imply?

Ok, if I understad correctly, you would like that all the emails that you get in Outlook appear on your Gmail account linked to Thunderbird, but that the Outlook folders in this app dont store those emails, is this correct?
