Does anyone know of a plugin for Gmail that would allow you to read, view and send messages but wouldn't actually download the messages to your computer? Basically the gmail on your web browser, but in thunderbird or another mail app. Does this make any sense?
Any comments or suggestions?
can't you just set up gmail or thunderbird to not download messages?
edit: go into account settings in thunderbird and check "leave messages on the server"
simple
yes, but...
1. It still downloads all 2,000 of my old emails in thunderbird.
2. Next time I go to gmail on the web, all the mail I just read is still considered new.
I guess my request is pretty stupid, but I thought someone else might have made a plugin. Basically I wanted gmail on the web...but instead of a web-browser, it was a mail app.
Look at the POP3 settings in Gmail and you can set it to only download messages from a certan date forward.
score. forgot about this setting. thank you for the suggestion.
