    Download Sent Messages Thunderbird

    Hi All,

    I was wondering if there is a way to get my sent messages out of gmail into my thunderbird. Right now it's getting my incoming messages perfectly using POP but I'm not syncing to my sent messages which is an issue because I have a lot of important stuff in my sent mail inside of gmail. Before I had it all in thunderbird (don't remember how) but I decided to try thunderbird 3 (couldn't keep it because calendar kept screwing up) so I downgraded and now I can't get those messages to show up again. I checked gmail and those sent messages are still there.


    Thanks everyone, hope you all had a great weekend

    use imap instead, unless you are offline a lot of the time

    POP passes "incoming" mail from your inbox - that's it. Read more about how mail/POP work.
