Two related things.

If you have set up a Gandi account in Thunderbird you can delete it by going to the account settings in the menu and using the account actions button.

Anything else is between you and Gandi

While Thunderbird offers Gandi accounts based on a decade old agreement, there is no real link between Thunderbird and Gandi. If your having issues with the mail account you created with them or want a refund you will need to deal with them direct.

Thanks, I have attempted to contact gandi support but they want my "domain" name. Until yesterday evening, I had no idea I had even created that and was informed my domain name is the suffix of xxx.modi. I was, just now, able to actually send a request for help to them with that name, so I will see what they send in response, although I am not confidant that I will understand much of what they suggest.

I've never had to deal with so much tech input to obtain an email in the past and this is WAY above my pay grade... :(

A bit of history here, when the agreement was made, gandi was in the business of selling or renting or whatever email addresses. you pid them a few dollars a year and they provided you with an email address on some handy domains link .engineer or .Doctor In the intervening years this has modified to them becoming a domain reseller so not the Thunderbird link gets oyou a domain, not an actual email address. I will have to pop a proposal to the counil that they reexamine the whole get an email address thing in light of you not really getting one anymore.

Might I suggest if you are just looking for a free email provider that the big ones are. Google.com , Outlook.com , Yahoo. Com and GMX.com my personal choice is GMX as they are not US based they a German based and they simply do not invade your privacy like the US based mail providers do. Something to be said for Germany's strong privacy laws and the almost absence of them in the USA.

Yeah, I can't get them to respond about the issue either and will ask for a refund, but I doubt I'll get anywhere with that either. The whole reason for the anonymous email address is to avoid all the big us companies. I don't do ANYTHING with google, if at all possible, and ms is just as bad. Thanks for the tip about GMX. I will look into that right away .. :)

Well, I signed up for a GMX account and it is EXACTLY the same as the mail.com account we have had so many problems with. Same home page and layout, just different name.

navigator-lxa.mail.com/mail?sid navigator-bs.gmx.com/mail?sid

Did I not get the correct company ?

Here is what I got out of gandi, after denying they had charged my cc, they finally acknowledged they did but it is now TOO LATE to refund my money, when I asked for a refund days ago and that was ignored. Thunderbird NEEDS to stop referring people to this organization.

The mobi was suggested by thunderbird and after I paid the fee, it went to your gandi site. I have NO CLUE how all this came about, but I did pay a fee for SOMETHING, here. Guess I'll just take it in the ass and move on. Nobody knows anything or how to fix it, so I got scammed and screwed....nothing new on the wonderful internet.

Thank you for your reply.

Please note that "mbd.modi" is not a valid domain name. On your account, you don't have any domains registered yet.

It's just that the email address that you indicate for your account "mbd_we_3" ends with @mbd.mobi.

You haven't made any purchase with your account "mbd_we_3". Therefore there's no orders to refund.

If you would like to purchase a domain name, I'll suggest that you create a new account from scratch: https://account.gandi.net/en/create_account

This time, please make sure that you indicate a valid email address when creating this new account.

If needed, you can always check our documentation page for more information: https://docs.gandi.net/en/domain_names/register/index.html

We remain at your disposal should you need any further information.

Sincerely,

\o/ Ivy G https://www.gandi.net/

In order to have a mailbox contact@mbd.mobi (or whatever@mbd.mobi), you NEED to own the domain mbd.mobi. The domain name mbd.mobi was registered on July 27 and it is unfortunately now too late to get that registration cancelled and refunded, I'm sorry.
