title: How to make Thunderbird stop during email download?
body: <p>I finally moved my old Outlook Express stuff to Thunderbird, and am downloading all emails stored on POP3 server.</p>
  
  <p>But I don't want Thunderbird to download them all at once. I want 20 at a time, so I can see them and delete junk ones and move remaining to their proper folders before downloading more.</p>
  
  <p>I can't find a button to stop downloading. Once I make Thunderbird download emails, it just keeps downloading and the only way I found to stop it is closing it.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a better way?</p>
