Actually my account is configured for pop. I tried the repair folder
ansd it made no difference. I did find a solution. I renamed my gmail
account entry on thunderbirrd and created a new entry for my gmail
account with the same info. This ended up with thunderbird downloading
email from late 2016 to the present, and is now downloading current
email. Not a real solution, but I'll live with it.

I'm assuming your gmail account is configured for IMAP.
The first thing I would try is:
Right click on the Inbox, select properties. In the General Information
tab, click on "Repair Folder".
