Easy-Email

When you use Thunderbird 3 with the Easy-Email solution it works as you are used to, however it will synchronize with Gmail instead of downloading emails.

By default Thunderbird 3 will download a copy of your emails so you can work offline as well. This means you will be able to read and respond to emails when you are on a plane or a train for instance. Once you get an internet connection again your emails will be sent.

This article discusses how you can modify these settings.

Synchronize your Thunderbird email on all your computers! Automatically!

You can choose which emails to have a local copy of on your computer by adjusting the Synchronization Settings.

To set the synchronization settings follow these steps:

Note! Click on the images to see a larger version.

• Go to Tools → Account Settings → My Mail IMAP → Synchronisation & Storage.
  If you wish to save space on your computer you can adjust the settings in the Disk Space section.

  Then click Advanced...
  

• Deselect any folder you do not need offline access to on your computer.
  Note! In Gmail on the Settings → Labels tab you can uncheck Show in IMAP for the All Mail folder. If you have done this the All Mail folder will not appear here.
  If you wish to use the new Archive function in Thunderbird 3 you will need to check Show in IMAP for the All Mail folder. Otherwise you will not be able to work with the archive in Thunderbird.
  Click OK twice.
