[solved] Sync thunderbird and GMail

ConnorBehan · 2007-09-09 02:14:31

I have thunderbird setup to retrieve messages from my Gmail account. This may seem like a simple problem: when I read an e-mail in thunderbird, then log onto gmail.com, it does not show up as read, but it will show up as read when I go back into thunderbird. I cannot see a way to fix this, any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure this is because the Gmail mail servers are pop3. My school has an imap server and it does this automatically.

I was reasonably sure this worked using GMail pop access. You can use the WebMail/GMail extension combo and this definitely works.

You need to login to webmail, go to settings,Forwarding and Pop and modify:
2. When messages are accessed with POP - Arhive Gmail's Copy
