Greetings
I seem to be having a problem getting Thunderbird to down load emails.
I'm just getting out of the hospital after a 2 month stay.
I probably have a thousand emails sitting on the server. Thunderbird connects, goes thru
the "checking for new mail" for about 2 minites, then quits.
I deleted "inbox.msf", no help.
Not sure how to proceed at this point.
Unable to download emails

Re: Unable to download emails
Who is the email provider?
How is the account set up in Thunderbird, as POP or IMAP? Find out using menu path Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Server Type at the top right of the dialogue.

Re: Unable to download emails
Hi
Extreme Hosting is the provider.
http://www.extreme-hosting.net/
It is currently set as a POP server.
I have several web sites there, and my main email is xxxxxxx@xxxxxx.xxxx
That is the one I am trying to download.

Re: Unable to download emails
Close Thunderbird. Navigate to the webmail page for that account using a browser. Review and then delete the oldest message in the server inbox folder that has not yet been downloaded to Thunderbird, or move that same oldest message to a server folder other than the inbox. Log out of that account and then launch Thunderbird to see if messages will download.
