Annoying message from disabled account
Hi to all.
I've had one of my TB configured email accounts disabled so I cannot login to it. How can I avoid TB to show me again and again that it's not able to connect that account? I just want to keep the already received/sent emails there in TB but it goes on and on showing that message even if I don't work on that account via TB anymore.
I've tried to unflag the option to check new messages from the Server options, but it didn't work. I've also tried to move all the emails/folder on local folders via TB interface, but this was made just partially possible because TB tried to login possibly due to some still-not-downloaded old messages which where made impossible to move. Moving all to a local folder will let me delete the account from TB and set me free from that annoying message which is also causing TB to be resource consuming, I don't know why, so that the laptop fan goes crazy (in such case, quitting TB causes the laptop fan to be back in peace in seconds).
Thanks. Regards.

I don't think email accounts can be disabled in Thunderbird. If not from an email account the authentication prompt may also be triggered from a Google Calendar, or Google address book you set up.

This doesn't exist is stock Thunderbird.
Perhaps you are using an add-on?

Thanks for your reply, but I don't have that option in my TB 128.14.0esr (64 bit) on Linux Mint. How did you get it?
