TB! doesn't directly support downloading mail from multiple POP
servers using a single account. This is supposed to be an available
feature for v 2. Unfortunately, we aren't sure when it will be
released. In the meantime, in order to download mail to a single set
of folders, you can do one of two things:

a) Take advantage of TB!'s ability to filter mail across accounts.
Do this by copying all the filters from the main account to that of
the other accounts. You can do this easily by first closing TB! and
then, copying the 'account.srx' file for the main account to that of
the other accounts. When you restart TB! all filters for the main
account will be in the other 2 accounts.

Your account folders are found in your working directory which is by
default, the 'Mail' directory which is in the TB! installation
directory.

b) Use a 3rd party application, the simplest being X-Ray. This
little application, specifically designed for TB! users, acts as an
intermediary relay server between TB! and remote POP and SMTP
servers. You can setup X-Ray to download mail from the remote POP
servers while TB! gets the downloaded mail from X-Ray. You can have
X-Ray download from each ISP on a turn by turn basis each time you
poll for mail. Of course, using this method, you'll not be able to
check all accounts simultaneously.

If you wish to download mail from multiple remote servers directly
to a single TB! account, then you'll need to run a full POP3 server.
There are free ones available like Mercury/32 and Hamster. These
mailservers leave small footprints and use little system resources.

To download mail from all accounts at once, use the 'Tools/Check
Mail for All' menu command or hit Alt-F2.
