Hi all,

I have only recently installed Thunderbird and I was wondering whether the software maintains a constant connection with the email server(s)?

I have a few email accounts configured and I need to be notified immediately when a new email arrives in an inbox of any of them, so would it be possible for the program to maintain a constant connection, if doesn't do os already? Is there an add-on for this?


Thanks!

If you click on the name of your email account (such as *****.gmai.com) and view settings for this account, and Server settings, there is an option to Check for new messages every XX minutes. I would not recommend a setting of less than 5 minutes.

More importantly you need an IMAP mail server that supports IDLE and hence push mail.

Gmail and most business class mail servers support push mail notifications.
