My ISP, Wildblue.net, has switched all their e-mail accounts to "gmail."

I am accustomed to having all my mail neatly sorted into directories
with Thunderbird mail.

Suddenly I have almost 800 messages dumped into one list broken into
pages of fifty lines. I found a rudimentary filter system but it
doesn't appear to sort my mail into directories as I am accustomed to?
Or I may be missing something ...

Can someone tell me how to deal with this mess? At least point me in
the right direction. I am still in shock and not sure what to do
next!

You can access GMail just like any other POP or IMAP e-mail server.

Start here or do a Google search for "Thunderbird Gmail":

For POP:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=12805

For IMAP:
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/topic.py?topic=12806

You can retain the filters in Thunderbird after fetching the e-mail from
Gmail or use the Gmail labels and filters to organize the e-mail into
virtual folders for using the Gmail web interface.

Take a deep breathe and do some reading... :-)
