downloading Skymail with Thunderbird
Hi, I've just gone back to using Thunderbird as my e-mail ap after getting Sky to synchronise them. (it's a long story!) Now, after several log ins it's still downloading (transfering?) thousands of old e-mails. I get the feeling if I let it complete then delete all the ones not needed it'll just repeat this operation next time I start. Is there a way to just download mails recieved from now please? Tnx, Kenwood

Re: downloading Skymail with Thunderbird
Did you set it up for POP or IMAP?

Re: downloading Skymail with Thunderbird
Using POP, go to your mail webpage, click the Settings link, then the Forwarding and Pop/IMAP link, use the drop down box next to 2. 'When messages are accessed with PoP' to select Delete Sky Mail's copy.
