When thunderbird is running ,I receive some emails on the spot, and other I don't. I have forwarded emails from my personal account to the email I m using on thunderbird, when i click get email I receive them, but if I wait for thunderbird to receive them it doesn't.

Also when I m not running the app, and I re open it in the morning, I do not received the emails send while the app was off.

Any ideas?!

You do not say whether this is a pop or imap mail account.

Just to clarify this... Are you talking about emails that other people sent to you, which are visible on the server when you logon to webmail account via a browser, but did not auto download when you startup Thunderbird?


Check settings: right click on mail account name in left folder pane and select 'Settings' select 'Server Settings' for the mail account

If POP: select: 'check for new messages at startup' select : 'check for new messages every eg: 10 minutes Select : 'Automatically download new messages'

If imap: select: 'check for new messages at startup' 'select : 'check for new messages every eg: 10 minutes

click on OK confirm you have the correct setings selected.
