Unable to receive pop gmail & load mail on thunderbird.

Hi,

I recently removed my old version of Thunderbird and replaced with the newest version 2.0.0.17. I tried to configure the pop gmail but I wasn't able to load my email from the server into thunderbird. When tried to write and email and send it to myself. When I logged in into my account by using browser, the email shown on my inbox. But it wasn't showing in thunderbird at all. None of the mail appeared in my thnderbird. I don't know why....

I'm getting frustrated..I don't know what to do. I'm using macbook version 10.5.4.

Please help

Thank you.

Wow, you revived an oldy.

Thats the way POP operates, you will only get it at the location you open it at. I believe you expect what IMAP offers. Try to use that instead.
