How can I make accounts active/inactive?
We have four PCs in a network. (Win 10). We are installing Thunderbird because of its Calendar synchronising features. Each user has his/her own IMAP mail account(s), info, Vorstand, Buero, Verwaltung, Sozialarbeiterin (we are in Germany) and I have Webmaster, which I read at home. During holidays or when someone is ill, we want to be able to temporarily read mail A on PC B. In my home Mac, I can mark any mail account with one tick as "active". How can I achieve this in Thunderbird?

If you add account A to any of the computers, it can be accessed the same way as on the original computer. I don't think you want to actually make an account inactive as far as being able to send and receive, but rather make it accessible by other users at certain times. If you don't want to add the account in the same profile with your own account, you could create a separate profile with the accounts of all the other users, then simply launch that profile when you temporarily need to access an account. That way, you would only see the activity in the other accounts when the second profile was opened. Does this make any sense?
