I set up 2 accounts and for the mattig88@gmail.com account, all of the emails that downloaded to TBird disappeared from the GMail server. However, the other account I set up, MattGuzzetta1@gmail.com, did not have this problem. "Leave messages on server" is selected by default and I verified it on both.

Are you using any email clients or devices, other than Thunderbird, to work with this account?

Yes - I have it set up on my iPhone but the same is true for the other account.
