Every time I get a new message in my inbox I have to click it before it gets downloaded. My internet connection is slow, so I have to wait for 20-30 seconds before I can read it. Then I click the next one, etc. Checking email takes a long time. I'd love for Thunderbird to download messages for me automatically as soon as they arrive. How can I achieve this?

I am on 102.11.2

Already tried various settings with no success.

1) Under Account Settings > Synchronization & Storage > Message Synchronizing the checkbox "Keep messages in all folders..." is checked.

2) I set "mail.imap.mime_parts_on_demand" to false.

These things did not help.

Under 'server settings', how frequently do you have thunderbird set to check for messages?

Every 1 minute

Just a suggestion: try setting to be less frequent, such as every 5 minutes. If mail were coming in every minute, you would never be able to keep up. Nothing scientific in my suggestion, but it may help.
