since thunderbird requires another email service address, tb is a mirror, not a true stand alone email service.. y/n, please explain
Looking for new secure email service, found Thunderbird (TB), not able to set up new email address had to enter existing working address (XXXXXXXX@yahoo.com), now have my yahoo on TB! Only choice allowed I followed only route available. Thinking this was process to create a stand alone XXXXX@thunderbird.com email, it"s not. So the question...since thunderbird requires another email service address, tb is a mirror, not a true stand alone email service.. y/n, please explain

TB is not a "mirror", it is software to access an existing email account (or create one on Gandi by paying for it).
You're correct it's not an email service and will never be.
For more information on what an email client is, see:
Google email provider vs email client. Thunderbird is the latter.
