problems with how g-mail functions in Thunderbird

I have several e-mail addresses from different servers, which work with no problem.

I recently added a G-mail address for a non-profit that I work with. Thunderbird installed it without a problem, but G-mail is doing crazy things with that G-mail address:

I somehow have ended up with two (2) Sent and two (2) Drafts folders for that G-mail address;

G-mail has taken it upon itself to keep moving my received G-mail messages from the Inbox to either Trash or to "Important", regardless of what I set in Account Settings;

It set up an Archive folder even though I chose not to set one up.

I just want the G-mail to act as the other addresses, going into the In, Draft, Sent and Trash folders with the others as appropriate!

Any help will be appreciated. JB53

is this email address ________@gmail.com or ___________@____________.com?

Our group signed up for Google Apps for Non-Profits, so our e-mail addresses use our domain name, and the format is _______@______.org
