Thunderbird question
 
I have 2 accounts set up in Thunderbird. When I get a new mail I have the small pop-up box informing me of it but it's not in any of my mailboxes - to access it I need to select the drop-down next to 'Get Mail' and click on 'Get All New Messages'.

How can I set it up so the mails automatically appear in the right folders?

Turn off the global inbox:
Tools-Account settings
Server settings for the A/c then click Advanced
Then select "Inbox for this server's Account" and OK through
HTH- don't really understand the question but I don't understand life today :(

Tools -> Account Settings -> Server settings (for the email address) then the advanced option should bring the options up.

If the global inbox is set, shouldn't the emails be in local folders?

The emails DO go in to their correct folder...

What I mean is when I get the pop-up notification on the toolbar, for the mail to actually appear in it's folder I need to click on 'get mail' - I'm after a feature which will automatically put it in to the folder rather than me selecting 'get mail'.

Hey, it was NFFC who mentioned the global inbox thing ;)

If I get you right, it's a fault. Try this or you could try the forums at mozillazine
