I'm using Thunderbird from a little time anmd I have a problem with "Unified Folders" After installing it, I added my 10 accounts one by one and found out a problem. Simply Thunderbird doesn't want more than 1 "yahoo" account. I can enter even 15 accounts and Thunderbird can manage all the accounts with "Unified Folders" without problems and I see all the accounts. But if I were to add another "yahoo" account, Thunderbird no longer handles it with "Unified Folders". In fact it disappears and I only see it again if I activate "All Folders". I can't understand why. Maybe I need to setup something on yahoo? Can I solve this problem? Thanks PS: I speak italian.

I have closed my Rogers account and have opened a Wightman account. Before I closed the Rogers account I downloaded Thunderbird and transferred my e mails and contacts to Thunderbird. To do that I had to put in my Rogers address. Now, when I open Thunderbird or try to send a message from Thunderbird, a pop up asks me to sign in to the old Rogers account. As this account is no longer active I cannot use Thunderbird. I have tried to change the information from Thunderbird E mail but cannot get it to change. My new e mail address is martinwea@wightman.ca Please help me to make Thunderbird work properly! Martin

Change Default Email Setting

I have 2 email accounts on TB. Well, 3 if you count the Plusnet one being set up for IMAP and POP3. This email has been my main one forever, but Plusnet have sold it off to an independent company, which I've opted out of as it will become a paid service after 2 yrs. Both IMAP & POP 3 are set as my default email & I want to change it to my Yahoo email that I only set up on POP3.

My 1st Q. is: I can see the red delete button next to the default notice in Settings. Does this just stop the email being my default or will it delete the account entirely? I don't seem able to make the Yahoo account my default without undoing the default settings for Plusnet first (makes sense). But just want to be sure.

Q.2: Since setting up Yahoo email on TB, I noticed that while all my Inbox messages remain when downloaded on my PC, the Sent messages are being deleted to leave only the most recent (currently) 11 messages, like it is if I log in online to Yahoo webmail. Does this mean I need to configure it to IMAP as well to make sure nothing is deleted from my PC?

Eventually, I want to delete the Plusnet accounts entirely from TB. Although I am still receiving emails sent to this address, which is still quite useful, I cannot use it to send or reply to these emails. Also, since the sell off I've been receiving unprecedented amounts of spam/scam emails, especially to my iPhone (TB isn't set up on my phone).

I received an email that said my account would be closed in 7 days unless I signed in.

I leave my Mozilla tabs permanently open and use them every day. I tried to sign in as instructed and got an "unknown error" about 3 times. Then I was sent to a page talking about Windows 10. I have the extension; that's not a problem for me.

Closing Mozilla and possibly losing all those open tabs would be a BIG problem. Evidently I'm signed in now. I hope everything is OK with my Mozilla account.

Clearly, this is a very basic question which has undoubtedly been answered before, but I haven't been able to find it. If Thunderbird had an old-style Help feature with an index, I could probably look it right up. But coming to the forum is the only option the program gives me.

I received this email after I tried to sign in to my Mozilla account. This is the relevant info from the email:

Your {$providerName} account has been linked to your Mozilla account Mobile Safari on iOS 18.7

I don't know what I did to cause this email to be sent. I wasn't trying to link any other account to my mozilla account.
