The E-Mail client Thunderbird does not receive messages from all your accounts at startup. The default settings allow the first mail account to be checked at startup and all the remaining mail accounts will be checked every ten minutes. I will provide you with a tweak with which you will be able to retrieve mail from all of your folders at once. Go in your profiles folder and create a new text document by right clicking the mouse. Name the new file as user.js. Once the file is created, write the following lines of code to it. user_pref(‘mail.check_all_imap_folders_for_new’, true); user_pref(‘mail.check_all_pop_folders_for_new’, true); And you are done…! Now restart Thunderbird and mail from all your accounts will be retrieved at startup only…!
