Multiple emails problem

more options

Hi i'am new to Thunderbird. Two days i am cleaning my emails ( i have multiple accounts) and it was so easy to do it, so far all good. Today i decided to do the same with my mothers email. My problem is that that my yahoo account Synchronised with my mothers yahoo emails. Now i lost all my emials (thank god only at thunderbird) and at my account i have my mothers emails. I tried to remove the accounts and add them again but the problem is still there. What can i do to restore MY yahoo accont? And how can i remove my mothers emails without deleting her emails? And how can i stop HER emails coming to my account?

Thank you in advanced!

Hello,

This is a bit complicated to understand well or at least i'm a bit confused. Maybe we can try to solve one issue at a time. Why and how your Yahoo account are connected ?

At firs i loged in with my gmail and after that i loged in with my yahoo account, and because it was so easy to make folders, i loged in my mothers email, and all of a sudden the 2 yahoo accounts kind became one( mine and my mothes) i don't know what i did wrong MY email was exacly like my mothes, all the emails and and the folders. So i had 2 email accounts (mine and my mothers) was EXACLY THE SAME.
