Yes, I use T-Bird almost exclusively and without issue.  A "simple" way, and 
the way I use, to fix it is to use gmail's filters to put emails from mailing 
lists into their own folder and bypass the INBOX.

I prefer to do it that way since that is how I've things for  a long 
time....dating back to when I ran my own mail server.  I also have different 
retention lengths for various mailing lists which is managed by T-Bird.  Why 
should I archive everything when fedora holds it?  :-)
