Thundebird Advice
I've been using Firefox for a while and am very happy with it so I decided to switch to Thunderbird for e-mail handling (from Outlook). I installed it at the weekend and everything seems to be working fine except for one thing on the incoming mail.
When I receive mail I get a 'mail in local' pop-up but I can't, at that point, see the mail anywhere and to actually get it into the Inbox I have to use the 'Get Mail' button. What I would like is for the mail to be automatically read into the Inbox. I can't find anything about this in FAQ or Help (and can't see anything on the options that looks as if it would do this) so does anyone know how to do it?
Also one bit of advice. I switched ISPs last year when I moved to broadband. When I had the broadband in I switched my old account to a 'free' dial-up account to maintain the address and installed it as a second e-mail account so that I would still receive any mail sent to the old address (so I now had read/send on the new address and read only on the previous address). When I migrated the account setting were switched so Thunderbird was trying to send mail using the old account, and failing. It only took a minute to change the account but is worth watching out for if you are migrating a multi-account set up.
