I am trying to get away from Google and anything Google like its' search engine. I contribute financially to Mozilla and would prefer to use Thunderbird. I set up an account with Mailfence, as it was one of the only options I could find away from the big tech entities that had an independent email server. (If there is a better alternative please let me know, but I have already paid for a year of service.) I have not been able to get Thunderbird and Mailfence to work together. How do I dissociate with Google and change to Mailfence? Thanks for any help in my effort! Jeff

The setup info for Mailfence is at https://mailfence.com/en/faq.jsp Other providers? gmx.com, outlook.com are good free providers. And fastmail.com is popular for a fee-based account, and there are many others. Personally, I've used usa.net for 20 years. My suggestion is to do a web search for 'email providers' I am unclear on your question about disassociating from gmail.

If you have specific problems with Mailfence, posting the details here may get some suggestions.
