IMAP + Thunderbird, letter download only if I open folder with letter, but it need be online. Click on folder, not on letter.

Thanks!

Select the option to 'keep messages for this account on computer'.


Settings for offline use also here: Menu icon > Options > Options > Advanced > 'Network & Disc Space' tab click on 'Offline' button to see options. Good info: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Offline_folders
