How to remove my google information from THUNDERBIRD fil;es and storage

D.J. Higgins

Apparently, I have accidentally allowed THUNDERBIRD to access my GOOGLE information. How do I delete this.

It may help to describe the info that Thunderbird is accessing. It's an intentionally stupid client, doing only what the user requests.

THUNDERBIRD is simply using GOOGLE as a vehicle to download emails. It's probably quite innocent and I'm worrying about nothing.

I concur. Google is very concerned with privacy and is ensuring that Thunderbird ONLY has access to the emails. Other email providers are also security-minded, but since google has many other services, its presence is felt. :)

SO WOULD YOU SAY I SHOULD BE A LITTLE MORE RELAXED ABOUT THIS " PROBLEM " INCIDENTALLY, MANY THANKS FOR YOUR INPUT.

Yes, relax. Google will not be a problem. Enjoy this short life. :)
