Somehow configure Thunderbird to fetch mail from SSH?

I would like to have Thunderbird fetch email from a file on a remote server mbox. As ssh://server/home/user/mbox or you can also mount the SSH directory and use a local path to mbox.

My apologies, I missed to add a link, it's here.

http://AskUbuntu.com/questions/301988/using-movemail-with-Thunderbird-on-Ubuntu

There are instructions step by step in the article. Note that a Movemail account can retrieve the mail in the Unix mail-hold file. This requires an SMTP server that actually puts mail there.

I really doubt that it works with an email client mbox file.

  • Desire for keyboard shortcut or a single command to fetch mail from all accounts of global Inbox

    I'm just now creating TB 31.7.0 in Windows 7 64 bit. I want to use the global Inbox to fetch e-mail from all accounts and have set up such an account, call the [email protected]. I am aware that shift + F5 is supposed to fetch e-mail from all accounts, but this doesn't seem to work with [email protected]. In addition, Messages to > download all new Messages doesn't work for [email protected]. Instead, I have to get msgs > [email protected] and would likely need to do so separately for each additional account of global Inbox I want to check. Y at - it a command to call Check mail for all these accounts, or a keyboard shortcut, or I have to press to Get Messages and select each account in turn?

  • I'm new to Thunderbird. I have a server and e-mail 2 address. How to configure Thunderbird to get two email accounts?

    Help. How to configure Thunderbird to receive both my email accounts that are through a server?

    It seems that it works if you are wanting to have more than one 'account '.

    HOWEVER, I wanted to add a 4th e-mail address 3 I already had and worked very well. That of what I did and voila! It worked. It is the path: Tools-> Options-> Security-> passwords-> Saved going on-> show passwords go there and keep it open while you
    try to send an email from your new address. A message appears saying that password has failed, I had to insert a password. While information appears automatically in the list on the chart you have open. Of course you need to add this new email address to your list first.

    Thunderbird support is not a provider of e-mail and does not send a message like this. I suspect that it is a scam.

  • How to add a second e-mail from an address of bigpond account in Thunderbird?

    I scoured my Mozilla Thunderbird's emails. My first email address ending by... bigpond.com and my second e-mail account is a bigpond address too. How can I add a second e-mail from an address of bigpond account in Thunderbird? No easy solution?

    My guess based on the error message would be that they don't offer POP e-mail, and you must have created the new account as IMAP.

    When you look at the original, working the account server settings indicate IMAP?

    If Yes to delete the new account a recreate using IMAP instead of pop.

    (d) market through the Outlook Express e-mail Setup Wizard.

  • Cannot send e-mail from OUTLOOK EXRESS (without server)?

    New computer; trying to set up with OUTLOOK EXPRESS, but get "NO POP SERVER"; need for OUTLOOK EXPRESS

    as the use of PC main house.  Email address: * email address is removed from the privacy *.  Problem:?  Archie Ashworth

    First, outlook express has been replaced by "windows live mail".

    However, o.e. and wlm would require you to select the data to the mail server.

    If you are configuring hotmail, then the data of the server will be automatically entered at the time wherever you create your email accounts in o.e. or wlm.

    But if you set up your e-mail accounts provided by your internet service provider, then you will have to visit their website or contact them for the 'settings' you enter.

    Perhaps, you can connect to your e-mail via the browser then look under the help option to determine the server address POPs and other data necessary for the configuration of your e-mail program.
