Thunderbird stopped transferring emails from webmail provider (after 40 or so years) on Feb 5, 2026
I now have 2 accounts in Thunderbird: Local (which has years of folders, but stopped receiving email from my Web mail provider) and my webmail Provider that does not download it from the provider. He claimed it is more modern and safer to synchronize across all devices and keep stuff on the web Mail application. I prefer to keep all my folders and emails on my local computer. Should I use POP? iMAP? to do that? Thanks for your assistance?'
