IMAP’s flexibility can be extended by making it available offline. For sending an email you will require internet but atleast you can read your old mails.
Configure IMAP Email for Offline Usage
- Go to ‘Tools>Account Settings’ and go to the desired IMAP account.
- Select the ‘Offline & Disk Space’ category and click on ‘Select folders for offline use…’
- Tick on the folders you wish to download for offline use.
- To go offline, go to ‘File–>Offline’ and click on Download/Sync Now’
- Tick ‘Mail messages’ and ‘Work offline once download/sync is complete’. Click OK.
- Thunderbird will start the sync process and will become offline after completion.
