Mozilla Thunderbird

Wait! Fixed the problem. The guide says to change the port to 111, but looking into YPops, I found it wants 110, not 111. Well that solved the Thunderbird problem! Thanks for the help guys!

Cool, glad you're fixed up.  I posted the post below your post (confusing) before I saw that post.

Fair enough.
Have a look at those sites as well then, Eredell.
Nice catch WillyW.

 Sure will. Thanks for the help

You're welcome, for whatever assistance I could provide.
BTW, Thunderbird is awesome.

You've already tested it?...  sending and receiving?

If so, and it works fine -     Excellent!

Glad you got it going.


Now....  you have a lot of stuff to play with, if you want to.     Extensions, skins, etc., etc.       I haven't explored much of that stuff myself, but it is there if you want to play with it.

Nice list of sites there.
I would check them out myself, but unfortunately I don't use T-Bird any more

No, there's nothing better than T-Bird for email.
It got a bit confusing, with Thunderbird, Portable Thunderbird and standard Gmail, remembering which emails were which after they all finished with them was a nightmare.
It got very confusing, so I ditched Thunderbird.
When I get better organised I'll bring it back.

What is Portable Thunderbird?


Regarding gmail -  I don't use it often,  but when I do, I just use Thunderbird to check it.




Regarding which emails were which:   not sure what you mean.    
Unless you used the option for   "local folders".  

When I realized how it worked,  I also realized it was not something that I like.
It puts all your emails in one big folder.   No matter if they are incoming from gmail, hotmail,  private isp, yahoo,  whatever.

I guess some folks might like this.   I didn't.    So...  I set up Thunderbird to make seperate folders for each email account.   Each with their own inbox, outbox, junk box, etc. etc.

Is the "local folders" thing what you did?

Set up seperate user accounts rather than using the global inbox options...works for me and i can track where the carp is coming from.

Bingo!


Nice to hear about your      carp      too.

How are your ducks?
Oh ... wait.... that's a different thread.

Portable Thunderbird can be found here.
It's a portable version of Thunderbird.
The problem was that Gmail, T-Bird and Portable T-Bird didn't mark mails as read for each other, so I had 6 new emails on one, 3 on another and 1 on the other, and I didn't know what was going on.
If that makes sense?

hmm..  interesting concept.
But, off the top of my head,  what's the difference between that, and the 'regular' app installed on your usb drive?

Let me see if I'm with you:
You'd check your mail with PTB, and pick up new mail.
Later, you'd check your mail with TB, and it would get picked up again, plus any more new mail that had arrived.

Is that an example?

And I assume that you didn't want to have your mail deleted from the server upon download,  right?

hmm...  interesting.    Since I don't have any snazzy portable device like that, I've never had to figure out what would work best.  

As far as Gmail goes,  I simply don't use their web interface.   'Click' in Thunderbird, and its done.

[patio]

It shouldn't behave this way...i have numerous accounts setup in TBird that don't duplicate themselves.

Of course if you are running portable TBird it's not gonna know if you have retrieved mail in your regular TBird account...i don't think there is any e-mail app that can know what the other is doing.

Clear as mud yet ? ?
