Sorry but I find carrier pigeons easier than computers and no I don't have any. I am trying to get a second email account sorted as the first one has been disconnected (old supplier) even though new emails sent to the old address show up on thunderbird. Online advice on how to do this does not work, as the information that should be on screen is not there. Oddly enough the new email address has allowed me here, does this mean that the new email address is now working? Many thanks

I have seen a thread about this, but the request remains unanswered. I am using iMap, for mail accounts in Thunderbird. Under Account Settings you can select folders to be downloaded, but they are only a preset few folders.

I wish to download the folders that I created on webmail. Thanks, Steve

Hi there,

I currently have three email accounts set up in my Thunderbird client. I’d like to disable the automatic marking of messages as read—but only for one specific account (mainly for my colleagues’ convenience, as it’s a shared inbox).

In Settings > General, I see the option to turn off "Automatically mark messages as read", but this would apply to all my accounts, which isn’t what I want. I’ve checked the Account Settings for the relevant account and couldn’t find a per-account option. I also looked for an add-on that might help, but so far, no luck.

Has anyone found a workaround or solution for this? Any advice would be greatly appreciated !

Thanks in advance, Cheers.

While trying to locate the ID#s for all 15 different email accounts managed by my TB desktop app, I discovered that there are two instances of a gmail account, but with different ID#s (although only one appears in my home screen). I've found no way of determining which one is valid, and I can't risk losing my main gmail account if I try to delete one and choose the wrong one. Does anyone have any ideas I might try, to determine which one is the "extra" and how this happened? I've tried looking at the source code for emails in that account, but can't find any ID# referenced there.

I had an account gmail in thunderbird I lost it because I had to change the password and did not find to change it in thunderbird. I want to add this account in thinderbird but did not succeed. Can you tell me all what to do, I had always a window of Google that open but I do not understand what to do with it.

I keep getting emails warning me that my Mozilla account and data will be permanently deleted on Monday, Nov 24, 2025 unless I sign in to my account. I have responded to these warnings by signing into my account numerous times. I'm logged into my account now, as a write this on the morning of Sunday, October 23. The log of my recent Mozilla account activity confirms that I logged into my account on July 5, October 2, November 20, and November 21 of this year (2025). Besides logging into my account, I recently added information to my profile, including a secondary email, a picture, and a display name. Yet I still received a "last chance" email from Mozilla on Saturday, Nov 22, 2025, at 10:45 PM warning me that my account and data will be permanently deleted on Monday, November 24 (please see attached image). I'm concerned that my recent Mozilla account logins are not being registered, and that consequently my account and data will be permanently deleted tomorrow despite my efforts to prevent this by logging in several times and even adding information to my profile. Please stop this from happening or instruct me on how I can stop this from happening.

Thank you, from Kirk Brown.

In Advanced Preferences there are multiple mail servers listed such as "mail.server.server18.hostname". There are at least 18. I have not been able to download messages for 3 weeks and can't figure out why. I have used Thunderbird for many years. Sending email works. Email provider is Shaw/Rogers
