I have started using gmail thru Thunderbird and every incoming email
is duplicated 3 times (it will appear once in the 'Inbox' folder, once in the
'Gmail/All Mail' folder and once in the 'Gmail/Important' folder).
This is annoying because I have to open the same email 3 (once every copy of it)
times to ensure that the notification
icon doesn't signal three unread mails. So I have to always go
to the 'Gmail/All Mail' and 'Gmail/Important' folders to mark folder as read every-time I get a new mail.
How can I remove the 'Gmail/All Mail' and
'Gmail/Important' folders in Thunderbird
(obviously without deleting the content of
'Inbox')? Is this something that can be fixed
from within Thunderbird, or do I have to change
something on the webmail side?

The answers above no longer work for T'bird 68.10.0. The trick is to click on the account name -> Manage folder subscriptions -> select the folder you don't want and uncheck its box. The Important and All Mail folders are under [Gmail].
Even easier is to right click on the account name -> click on Subscribe..., then as above.
