AskWoody LoungerHi,
I have 3 gmail accounts setup on my mobile phone and one of these on my laptop as well.
The other 2 gmail accounts I am unable to transfer to my laptop and need to understand why?
I can access each of the 3gmails online.
I need to understand why I am unable to “sync” the other 2 onto my laptop or to download to my laptop.
Thanking you
masaloiI use Mozilla Thunderbird email client with no issues; four gmail plus multiple others. I believe I have nine email accounts and Many many file folders with filters. However, I also run this on a dedicated older windows XP machine that is only used for email. A KVM switch allows easy access. With only three accounts, I would think you would not need a dedicated machine. I use it only because it loads up my RAM and ROM otherwise.

AskWoody LoungerApril 15, 2012 at 4:52 pm in reply to: Any rumors of Windows Mail-like client for Windows 8? #1329171Not sure what one would find missing with Thunderbird. I have multiple email address’ set up , each with it’s own in box. Then with filters, I can have messages automatically placed in specific folders, even across in-boxes. So I have such folders as windows Secrets, Family, CNet, Finance, even “politics” etc and based on what I am concentrating on I can go to the folder of the moment. The only issue I have with email clients is how much band width it takes to down load all my messages each time I open the client. The issue I had with Outlook and lout look express, when I tried to use them, was every thing went to the same inbox. Perhaps I didn’t take enough time to set it up. With Thunderbird, I can also choose which email address I want ot use for each out going mail regardless of which in box it came to. just my 2 cents ds
