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?
