How can I force Thunderbird to automatically check mail when I log in? I am using Ubuntu 11.10, 64-bit.

Do you mean you want to auto-start TB when you log in?

Unfortunately, I don't know of any way to get it to start in the background, and just update the mail notifier - that would be nice.

That kind of configuration is per account and not 'system' wide.

In each account settings (Edit -> Account Settings...), you have "Server Settings" where you can configure how Thunderbird deals with new messages.
