I do not thunderbird to automatically download my emails from my server. I want to manually click to receive emails. How do I stop the automatic download?

Normally Thunderbird will check mail when it first opens, and every 10 minutes thereafter. You can set Thunderbird to only retrieve mail manually in "Account Settings".

You can go into Account Settings using either:

  • application menu > Options > Account Settings
  • tap the Alt key > Tools menu > Account Settings

Then click into the Server Settings category to deselect automatic checking.
