I found this a long time ago for linux where you can get a web extension to check your webmail within Thunderbird mail client. It works similarly to reading it on line but has a few advantages. The biggest is you can set up and view as many web accounts as you want. It works for varios webmail services and allows for easier use of multiple webmail accounts on the same service.

The good news is it works with windows. The bad is that I could not get it working with rogers even when manually entring the rogers webmail server.

The web mail extention is here.

As for using rogers yahoo I think this is a webserver address issue.

seems to be an interesting new toy to play with.

This is different it handles webail like you where reading it from the browser, also default settings make it so that the message is deleated on the webmail server when you deleat it in the thunderbird client.

The main reason I use it is I ave varios webmails for linux stuff and hosts etc so I can go throght them as apposed to logging out and back in as a different user.

The main reason I like web mail is for handling spam, with this I can deleate spam on the webmailserver.

In world war two they stated the bombers will always get through.
A few years ago there was a spoof on that as.
The spam will always get through.

Hu...

I drafted a couple of lengthy replies but nothing seemed right. So...

I'm sorry, I don't know where that extention is. I use Thunderbird and love it, but haven't come across that one.
