How to Re-Sync Gmail Account on TB with Server?

If I delete a Gmail account in TB and create it anew, is there any chance that will mess anything up on the server?

My problem is that every so often TB downloads all the headers in my Inbox, sometimes showing more headers than are in the Inbox. The same thing happens when I do a Repair Folder on Inbox.

I believe it got this way when I did copies in both TB and Gmail, and some messages got multiple Gmail labels. I went into the Gmail account and fixed all those messages, so now all messages on the server have at most one label. But the weird downloads are still happening.

Does it make sense to try deleting the account in TB and putting it back anew?

And is there a way to save and reinstall the account's filters in TB?
