Hi! Can you please help me understand why this is happening?

1. When I randomly check my emails through the search function, the emails can not be found on the location it states they are. Ex. location=all mail , but when I search ALL mail , the email in not there.

1. I have SAME Email but the timestamp in Thunderbird is 1 minute less than the time stamp in the Gmail. Ex. In Gmail time stamp is 11:04 am , in thunderbird it is 11:03am

2. Thunderbird uses the Time header set by the sender at the time of sending. I have no idea what Google do.
