user.js
I am trying to download messages from multiple accounts on start up of TBird and I have created the user.js file but can't seem to get it in the right folder to make the behavior function. I am new to the open source environment so probably am missing something simple but need some help.
Thanks
Thanks

Put it in your profile in the same folder as prefs.js and abook.mab. On Windows XP that would be C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data(a hidden folder)\Thunderbird\Profiles\default\random number.slt\user.js
One thing about user.js - the grammar must be perfect. If you forget to put a ; at the end of a line or something Thunderbird will stop reading it at the syntax error and give up, so if it doesn't seem to be working, look at every little detail. I find the easiest way to get it right is to copy and paste lines across from prefs.js.

As always chromedit is a good way of editing such files, w/o needing to know where they go : )

Can you see the difference between the two? The computer can. One has a ; at the end and the other doesn't.R4F wrote:Code: Select all

What Operating System are you using? If it's Windows, have you set it to show file extensions of known file types? If not, and you've made the file with a text editor it may well be called user.js.txt but Windows will be hiding the .txt so to you it looks like it's called user.js. I don't use imap so I've never set that pref but for meseems to do the same thing, it checks for new mail when Thunderbird starts. You'll need to put lines for server2,3..however many accounts you have.
Code: Select all
user_pref("mail.server.server1.login_at_startup", true);

ChromEdit - User File Editor
and it's one of the more stable extensions : P
allows editing of user.js as well as userChrome/userContent
chromedit was the name it was given, when it was a snippet [ http://snippets.mozdev.org/ ]
prefs.js in an up coming version, R4F has a pre-release

I'm sorry but this isn't clear for me.
Say I have two accounts, as follows:
1) pop3 = mail.hostingstudio.net
2) say username is joe.bloggs@hostingstudio.net for account 1 and jack.bloggs@hostingstudio.net for acccount 2
3) say password is blabla1 for account 1 and blabla2 for account 2
What would I have to writwe so that it checks the mail automatically at start up?
Also, can I set TB so that it checks emails on ALL these accounts ( I have 15 email addresses!) every 5 minutes?
Thanks for your help.
