Hi! Okay I think I understand that. I am guessing that I need a thunderbird connection to the webmail extension. I am running on ubuntu 12.10 so it appears that I need to use a port greater than 1024. I have set the pop server to 1025 and the smtp server to 1026. They are both running. I have checked show server status in statusbar but have no idea where or what the statusbar is - can you point me to it?
The domains tab shows enabled for pop (1025) and smtp (1026) are enabled for gmail and googlemail, connection security to ssl/tls, and authentication method to normal password. So the next question is how to set up[ the webmail extension to work with gmail. The directions I have found are terribly out of date for the current version of Thunderbird (17.0.3) that I am using. I created a new account and gave it a reply to address. I set the pop mail server to localhost, port to 1025 . I have lots of waiting emails but none are downloaded. All help will be appreciated.
