Stuff is getting through if I

Fri Aug 20, 2021 7:59 am

Forgive me if this has been covered.
Stuff is getting through when I wash my mail and leave my thunderbird account open or accidently
forget to close it . Is there away around this?
Basically I would like nothing to bypass Mailwasher even if I have the primary Mail services open.

In ThunderBird go into Tools >> Account Settings >> for each account you have setup select Server Settings on the left >> then on the right under 'Server Settings' section, uncheck the options to check for messages on startup, check for messages every xx minutes and also uncheck the option for immediate server notications >> restart ThunderBird.

That should stop the mails from coming in.

How do I get these Emails to Thunderbird if the process is not automatic ?
Is there a manual option once things have been washed ?
How do I get the Washed Mail to Thunderbird without leaving a open window
for it to download.

I will try those settings to see what happens.
Thanks

In ThunderBird, hit Get Messages top left, that brings in everything.

You can set MailWasher to open ThunderBird after a Wash Mail which would bring it into focus as well, the option is under Settings >> General >> Washing Mail, "Launch after Wash Mail'.
