You can disable the "copy to sent" in Thunderbird, which would probably 
solve the problem you describe about "double traffic". I use the spanish 
version of TB, so the name may vary, but it translates to "folders and 
copies", under account settings, inside the tree view of the pertient 
account.

Maybe the issue you have with Gmail import has a similarly easy 
solution, you may want to try and describe it =)
