Why do I only get Email when the computer is turned on?

Using Thunderbird, If the computer is off, no emails are delivered. If the computer is on and I'm signed into my computer account, email seems to work normally. I do not need to be signed on to email.
I previously tried Outlook and Windows Live and had the same problem. Earlier, I used Outlook Express in Windows XP which worked perfectly.
My Email provider is mindspring and my computer is running W7 SP1.
Thanks,
Lynne

Can you explain how exactly you expect to receive email when the computer is turned off?

  • I only get sound from the computer's speakers even though I put in headphones

    I have for a while now had the problem that I only get sound from the computer's speakers even though i plug in the headphones, I have rebooted the computer but still the same problem occurs. So i thought there might be someting wrong in the settings, when i open the soundsettings and plug in my headphones nothing happens, usually I believe there should be a text appearing that says that the sound is now going to headphones, am I right? any how, it still just sends the sound out to the speakers and there is no option to send it else where then "soundflower 2ch and soundflower 16ch".
    I do have an external sound card, for music recording, that goes through USB, and when i plug that in i get the option to send the sound to that device and also to recive sound and i can also choose if i want to sent it to the computer's speakers. So could it be someting wrong with the headphone jack?

    Good day!
    Thank you for writing to the Dell Community Forum.
    Boot into the System Bios and make sure that Onboard Devices- Integrated Audio is On. Then exit the System Bios saving the change. Once back into Windows, open the Device Manager and make sure that ADI1983 HDA appears under Sound devices. Then re-test the rear green audio jack #4 using headphones. Also, reply to this post with the service tag of the system sent via private message so that I can look into the details of the system and assist you better.
    Have a great day ahead.

  • Why can I only get one of the 2 songs I just puchased

  • How to speed up loading when the computer is turned on?

    The iMac I have is a Mac osx tiger. It used to be very fast on loading up all the applications. But now it take ages to load up when I turn it on, and it also takes a long time to open an application (especially Numbers, iPhotos, iTunes). What are the causes of this problem? And please advice on how to solve it. Thanks.

    Can you tell us what kind of iMac? They cover many years and generations with very different capabilities.
    A common issue:
    [Problems from insufficient RAM and free hard disk space|http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/lackofram.html]
    You might try with a bit of general maintenance/ checking:
    Boot from the installer disk, select language if applicable, choose utilities, run Disk Utility and verify (and repair if necessary) the drive. You can verify a drive from DU on your main drive while booted but I have found this can result in incorrect reporting of errors. To repair your drive you have to run it from a drive other than the boot drive anyway.
    Next, boot from your drive in [Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393] and repair permissions. You can repair permissions while booted from the installer disc but this uses the permissions configuration on the installer disc which may be out of date if you have run any updates on your computer. Booting your computer to Safe Mode restricts the number of things running on your computer while permissions are being run and does a bit of spring cleaning at the same time.

    [Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
    From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."

  • Phone only gets emails when i access the internet using opera mini or google maps

    at first, i thought the problem was related to gmail and pop, so i forwarded all emails to my bb address, but the problem still remains. if i start google maps and let it load for a second, all of my emails and facebook notifications will come through at the same time, but they wont show up on their own. any suggestions? i am using sprint

    So you're not getting any data transfer to device, except when Google Maps is running?

  • Why can't I get email when traveling?

    I can't figure this one out. Everything works fine at home, but like today I am out of town and trying to connect without success. The first place I tried (where my wife is working) allowed me to put in the password and connect but I get the message there is no IP address and after a bit a self-assigned one is given and I am not connected. We tried restarting the router, but no success. Strangely enough, my wife who has a Macbook Pro also (13 inch, newer) was able to connect without a problem.
    So, OK, I give up, went to a local library. I put in all the codes, connect OK and able to use Safari but cannot get Mail. If I try to, it starts but then nothing comes in after a while and gives me the symbol of the triangle with the exclamation point in it. I tried restarting but no difference.
    So, how can it be that Safari works and Mail does not? In the first instance (wife's work) I could not get on at all. In the library, can use Safari. Strange, isn't it?

    Would it then make sense for me to change the port on my email accounts while I am traveling?
    Well you could if your email provider allows other ports to be used. But then depending on where you are and how you are connectiong to the net they may also block those ports or ALL port except 80/8080.
    Not sure if you are in the USA but I know for a fact most Mcdonalds have WiFi and don't really block anything.

  • Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download

    Could you please tell me why as a Brit resident in Japan therefore having a billing address that is Japanese is forced to only get service from the Japanese online store? Is there not some way of allowing me to select movies and music to buy and download from other stores. Why do am i forced to try to nread Japanese when I have selected English as my language. The price for Downloads is no different and even if it was I am happy to pay. This also applies to Movie rental which is crazy and extremely restrictive. I a supposed GLOBAL community why does Apple do this.

    You can buy ONLY from the itunes store of your country of residence (As proven by valid billing address of credit card) and ONLY while inside the borders of that country.
    These are the terms of the itunes store.

    Why can I only get wi fi on my ipad when my computer is on?. My laptop is connected to router by wifi not a cord.

    Yeah, that's what I ended up doing. It just wasn't worth the hassle. I got a good (standard size) monitor for about half the price of the old one, so I'm not too disappointed. Thanks for your help though

  • When i rip a cd I only get 1min19secs on the 1st song and the rest says not avail.

    when I rip a cd I only get 1min19secs of the 1st song and the rest of the songs sats that its not avail.

    "Message" usually means a text message.  I suspect you mean email messages.  If so, and the email account you use is IMAP, then you can't delete an email on a device but not on the server - that's the way all IMAP services work.  If the account is POP, and if the email service provides this, then there should be a setting in your email settings for that account to NOT delete from the server.
    If you really mean a text message, then how it works is designed by your carrier.

  • Why do all my pictures transfer to my macbook with only 72 res. when the pixel availability on i phone is high?

    Why do all my pictures from my i phone transfer to my macbook with only 72 resolution when the pixel availability is high?

    The iPhone 4 has a 5 megapixel rear facing camera; the iPhone 3 has a 3 megapixel camera.  Your example shows a pixel density of 2.5 megapixels (1322 X 1866 = 2,466,852).  If this was from the iPhone 3 it's not that far out of line, especially if it was "optimized" during transfer.  You can still use Photoshop to increase the dpi above 72.  Just resize the picture to 260 dpi without resampling.  The physical size of the photo will shrink but it will produce photo quality prints.  If they aren't clear, that's probably a focus/lighting issue.
