That's because Gmail's labels aren't folders and don't quite act like
folders. You'll have similar quirky behavior with any IMAP client, not
just Thunderbird.

K-9 Mail with OpenKeychain.

Don't use APG. It's effectively unmaintained with known security
vulnerabilities which have gone unfixed for several years.

Actually, I suggest not using Android at all in this capacity. Android
is not a secure, reliable platform.
