Thunderbird コミュニティフォーラム

I'm trying to set up a new email account in Thunderbird. I entered folders and selected email. I entered my name and email address, but the display started spinning and only stopped if I did a restart.

Help, please.

If you change your Thunderbird setting on your PC from POP to Imap, how do you change setting on phone if you are not allowed to change them? Do you have to delete existing POP account and setup/add the new Imap version. ? Can you also force stop the POP account and try to change settings that way?

PC = HP PHONE = Samsung Galaxy S23

Hi I have several mails with in my Thunderbird. For one of them I have unchecked all the server settings: "Check for new messages at startup" "Check for new messages every ..." "Allow immediate notifications..."

Thunderbird still keeps asking me for a pw at start and now and then. If possible I would prefer not to delete the account, but just have it as passive, so I can still find old mails there.

New mails from this old account, if any, are forwarded to another of my mails (another domain name), and then I move them manually down there, so it is easier to find. This was something my mail-provider arranged, so I should not pay 2x hosting for both domains. Alternative I can transfer the mails from the old account to a sub-folder with my active mail, but for organizational ease, is there a way I can keep a mail account as "passive" in Thunderbird, that is no check for new emails on this account and no ask for pw, since it is not really active anymore.
