    POP3 in Thunderbird


    Hi Folks,
    I have been experimenting with Thunderbird Portable (latest version just released) using Gmail with IMAP. To say the least, I don't like IMAP and never will.
    My image shows the TB account settings using IMAP, do you know the settings if using POP3. I posted this on FF Forums but no reply so far.

    Did you even look at my link? It has the settings you need.

    Step 2: Set up your client

    Use the table below to update your client with the correct information.
    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server: imap.gmail.com
    Requires SSL: Yes
    Port: 993 Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server: smtp.gmail.com
    Use Authentication: Yes
    Port for SSL:: 465 or 587
    Use same settings as incoming mail server Full Name or Display Name: [your name] Account Name or User Name: your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com) Email Address: your full email address (including @gmail.com or @your_domain.com) Password: your Gmail password

    Hi, @Roderunner:

    Try the settings in my screen cap.
    NOTES:

    • This is the full version, not portable
    • Win7 Pro/64-bit
    • My settings are configured the way they are because I use a spam-filtering program (Mailwasher Pro) between the ISP servers and Tbird; however, this probably won't impact the basic setup.
    • You may also have to adjust the gmail settings from the gmail web interface, to be sure POP is enabled, etc.

    Let us know if this helps,
    MM
