Re: [orca-list] a little thunderbird help please

[Steve Holmes <steve holmes88 gmail com>]

Concerning the IMAP folders, Chris is right; I also use gmail for my
mail with IMAP and by vertue of setting up the inbound and outbounhd
servers, thunderbird should basically do the right thing.  I know in
the past there was a side thing one had to do to get sent and trash
messages to go to the right place for tmail's processing to work right
but I think that is fixed now.  With recent versions of thunderbird,
it simply found my email address profile from a central host or
something and just plugged in the right parameters for me.  When
saving messages explicitly, the folders available should fall within
the tree structure of the IMAP server and there will also be a node
for local folders; there is where you can store messages on your local
machine if you wish.

HTH.
