Comment on A fresh install of Signal takes up 410MB, blowing both Firefox and Chromium out of the water

Messages sent with Signal are encrypted per device, not per user, so if your desktop client doesn’t exist when the message is sent, it is never encrypted and sent for that device.
When you set up a new client, you will only see new messages.
See signal.org/docs/specifications/sesame/ for details.
