When I set up my original account, I had it set to automatically forward mail to my work email address. I have since retired, and lost the work email. However messages are still being forwarded to the non-existant address and are bouncing back, giving people the impression that the primary email address is failing. So how can I cancel the automatic forwarding?

hello, you're posting in the firefox support forum - firefox is a browser and doesn't handle your emails. in case you're using thunderbird as a mail client and have a question about it please say so, then we will move your question into the thunderbird queue. if you're accessing your mails through webmail, contact your email-provider in order to help you further...
