    I will soon be in a situation where I can't check pop-mail (I have Road Runner) but I can check Gmail. Is there a way to either forward my pop mail from TB to Gmail or set up Gmail to receive my pop mail as well as leave it in TB?

    Thanks!!!

    Dont use TB Stephanie, but does it have a message rules or filters that you can set to forward mail to Gmail, only thing with this is I don't off hand think it does it out th box for all mail just the selected email addresses from known senders.

    Will if no one who used TB has the answer try and read up more on it.


    BUT in the mean time this maybe interesting Portable Thunderbird you could setup on a USB thumbdrive ( if you have one ) and setup your account, which should if your ISP supports this and doesnt rely on your actual phone # having to be present, be able to read your ISPs mail from anywhere???? ( a possible fix )

    Awesome, Halo! That did it. I went to Filters and I was able to forward mail from individuals and/or my entire address book. Exactly what I was looking for. For some reason, I thought filters were only for removing unwanted mail from your inbox. I discovered you can do so many things!

    You're the best :)

    Sadly, I responded too quickly. I tried two filters. The first I thought worked - but it only put it in my Gmail folder that I have set up with my TB and didn't actually send it to my gmail address. The second one I "Forward to" and put in my gmail address, but it said the delivery couldn't go through or froze my TB when trying to forward it there. Any suggestions? Sorry, Halo...

    Sorry that didnt work Stephanie :(


    cannot think of anything off hand as I dont use TB ( apart from Portable TB ), but will still look into this unless other users of TB can assist. ( so this post serves as a bump too ) :)
