I want to change the default download protocol accessing the mail server from imap to pop3. I went into the account settings & changed the default selection from imap to pop3. But the change does not take effect. Tbird still accesses the server using the imap protocol.

You can't change from IMAP to POP that way; you have to create a new account as POP. Before doing that, go to TB menu > Account Settings > Server Settings and disable these options:

Ed, Thanks for the info. I forgot about those settings. Tbird already had the pop3 profile. like you said, just uncheck the boxes. All is well. Thanks again. olegreyghost
