Check for New Mail Quickly in Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape or Mozilla

By , About.com Guide

Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape and Mozilla Thunderbird have (more or less) cool toolbar buttons that let you check for new mail quickly. I hardly use this Get new messages button, however.

The keyboard shortcut is much more convenient (and I'm used to it from opening a new browser tab).

Check for New Mail Quickly in Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape or Mozilla

To make Mozilla Thunderbird, Netscape or Mozilla check for new messages fast:

  • Press Ctrl-Shift-T

Note that this will fetch new mail in all your accounts. To check only the current account, use Ctrl-T.
