Hi... I have recently moved over from Gmail and Chrome to Thunderbird and Firefox.
Hi... I have switched from Google to Thunderbird and am using my old Gmail address: viewegm11@gmail.com on Thunderbird with not problem. Before moving over, I imported all of the email files over to Thunderbird...(old emails and the like).
Now Gmail has sent me a notice saying that I have no more space on the Google server and that I soon won't be able to send or receive emails via Google. Does this apply to Google only or to Thunderbird, as well?
In sum: I no longer log into Gmail or Chrome at all... I am using Thunderbird ONLY to Send and Receive emails at: viewegm11@gmail.com [on Thunderbird].
So the Question arises: Does the warning from Google that tells me That I won't be able to use Gmail anymore apply to my use of the viewegm11@gmail.com address over here on Thunderbird? Or am I safe in choosing to continue using my original Gmail address on Thunderbird...in spite of the warning from Google.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Thank you very much! Martin Vieweg viewegm11@gmail.com

Your email client fetches mail from the account it is linked to. So if you do not have any storage left on your Gmail account that you view on Thunderbird, then you won't see any new emails.
You said that the notice from Google said that you "soon won't be able to send or receive emails". I don't know what "soon" entails, maybe a few days. You should look into your Google Drive -> Storage to see if there are any large files that you don't want anymore (or keep it in a physical/another cloud storage). You can also delete any email that you don't want anymore.
If you do decide to clear up space on your Google account, please make sure you keep backups of important documents and don't hastily delete files.
