allthough I deactivated automatic forwarding, all emails are still forwarded to my daughters. I erased the email-adress and I closed the filter. Need your support, want to fix it.

Message Filters

Even if you deleted the obvious one, sometimes another filter exists or was saved under a different name.

  • Go to Tools -> Message Filters
  • Select the account in question (important because filters are account-specific)
  • Check all filters & make sure none are set to "Forward message to..."
  • If in doubt, disable all filters temporarily and restart Thunderbird to test

Step 2: Then..

  • Go to Account Settings for the account
  • Review 'Copies & Folders' and Junk Settings
  • Make sure there’s nothing set to forward messages or copy to another email
