I set my Thunderbird email account settings to get email automatically but it doesn't. Any suggestions?
I want to leave my Thunderbird email program open on my laptop during my work day and have my email downloaded automatically and a audible alert sound to let me know I have new mail. I have set my account settings so that this should happen, but it doesn't. I also tried setting in account settings for it to download once per minute, and it didn't. Any suggestions why this might be happening and what I can do to make it work?

Set your auto check to 15 minutes and see it work correctly. If you want mail frequency less that that stop using pp mail and use IMAP and then only on servers that support Push mail.
A setting of 1 minute is simply not going to work and is really only available for those who are connected to their own on site server via a fibre cable.
Ultimately remember that email is not SMS or IM, It is email and it arrives when it does and most certainly not immediately.
Thanks. I'll try that.
