I'm using Thunderbird with an Office 365 business account via EWS.

I'm trying to reduce the amount of storage used on my local machine by setting the "Synchronization & Storage" setting to 3 months instead of downloading everything, but every time I change the setting it doesn't stick.

I'm on Thunderbird 150.0.1 (Windows).

I have created an account instance in account settings, and the "Test connection to server" says it is OK, but when I go to the mail tab the get messages button and New Message are grayed out an NO accounts are listed in the "folders" area. Not does it ever ask for my password to the SMTP server I have selected. I have an existing account with my own email service (Hover), and MUST connect to that. This is critical, as I need my e-mail to accomplish necessary activities.

I have a new gmail account and I can't figure out how to get Thunderbird to show me messages that come in to that address. I changed some things trying to set up a second account but emails still don't arrive. I am using a desktop computer with the most recently updated Windows 11 and updated Thunderbird too. What am I missing?
