Can I get Thunderbird to forward email from all of my addresses instead of whichever one is currently active?
I have a number of different email addresses I use and I've set up auto forward filters on all of them to send to an external email that I've been using for years. However, Thunderbird seems to have a hiccup where it only forwards the emails if I go into Thunderbird and select that particular mailbox. If Thunderbird is open and running there's no guarantee it will send me email from the other four or five addresses I have. Is there a way to get it to autoforward All of my emails instead of the one that is currently active?
Thanks! -Todd

So these are ALL Inboxes, correct?
They are all separate (to use Thunderbird's term) "Mail Accounts" that need to forward to an existing email address. Each Mail Account has a "forward all mail" filter on it that runs automatically. But for some reason they will only forward if I click on a "Mail Account" that has a number of messages stacked in it. Once hilighted the filter will autoforward from that address and I have to systematically hilight the separate "Mail Accounts" to get all of this mail to go to the single address it should be heading to automatically.
Right but you haven't told me, are these all INBOXes?
Yes they are all separate mail accounts with separate INBOXes. Because that's how Thunderbird adds mail accounts when you select "Add New Mail Account".
Don't be sarcastic, we all volunteer this work on our free time. Wayne is right, You could have moved them else were. What happens if you click "get ALL messages" ?
Apologies, I felt I was as clear as I could have been and was being called out on nuance.
If I click the 'Get all Messages' button it will autoforward but the issue is having these items forwarded to me when I'm not at my desk. I receive time sensitive emails on a number of different accounts (and by extension, in my setup, inboxes) and need to be able to trust that I'm receiving all of them on my mobile device when I'm out of the office.
At present I can't do that. I thought auto-forwarding would do the trick, but it isn't handling the multiple addresses/inboxes as well as I would like.
