I am trying to set gmail to be accessed on Thunderbird. I have tried checking “enable POP for all mail (even mail that’s already downloaded),” but it will not stay checked
when I tell it to save changes. How do I correct this? Also, on startup, what about the user name and password?

Thanks,

L Mills

Yeah. there is an option in thunderbird to set up a Gmail account – you just run through a wizard and enter your username, and it sets everything up for you. But thanks for the tut anyway!

Another reason to use an email client is because you don’t have to stay signed into your Google account(s) in order to pick up mail, allowing Google to track your searches and movements online more precisely.

Also, i prefer to have my data on my computer. It may also be on a remote server, but not having access to emails when i need them or have to be offline isn’t an option for me.

Good tip! @ Rutger there are some emails, that you might wish to save to your hard drive. Plus it’s quicker in some cases to fire off an email without having to open up your browser if you already have you client email open. Just a matter of what you like the best. Since I do both, I use one if I am browsing and the other if I am working, since I don’t always trust myself to keep working after I have opened my browser :)

Why not keep everything in the cloud? Skip Thunderbird.

Anders did you try sending email using gmail? If it is working it usually means that you are not using Gmail SMTP but another smtp server (default)

humm I just went into gmail and turned on pop, then went into thunderbird and selected gmail server. the only thing i really needed to enter was my email and pwd – all the other stuff was done already or have i missed something?
