Hello. i am in need of desperate help.my wife uses Thunderbird and we have an email account name@oldprovider.net.au now they have decided that they are no longer going to support/keep the email server side operational and have only given us only to the 5/10/23 to get another email supplier.

They have included in there email a company (called "The Message Company") that if we go with them all our emails will be ported over to this company. I have read part of the terms and conditions product disclosure and they just about want to know everything (being nasty here, but in my words, like what did you last have to eat, when did you last go to the toilet,where did you last travel to etc, i think you get the point) anyway too much reading and disclosure for me.

Now i use Firefox and absolutely love it, and i do contribute dollar wise when i can as i am only on the pension and my wife uses Thunderbird and she loves it. So you can help me in explaining how i can make up a new email address but still use Thunderbird.

Now i went into accounts in Thunderbird and imported my wife's Gmail account but now when she gets an Gmail email it goes into her Gmail account as well as into Thunderbird. Is there anyway of creating a new email address in have Thunderbird use it.

If i create one in outlook i have to setup outlook but then if she gets an email for outlook once again it goes to outlook and then to Thunderbird. I would just like to create an email address and it just goes to a server and then straight to Thunderbird just like it is/was now. thank you in advance Garry

If I am misunderstanding, please accept my apologies. When you set up an Outlook account, it will be available at outlook.com because that is the home of the account. Thunderbird is an email client that helps you manage the account more effectively. So, that means you can access your account in both places if desired. That also applies to Gmail. Thunderbird is an email client and can never be the sole owner of an email account. There must always be an email host that makes the account available, and then Thunderbird helps you manage it. Most users rely solely on Thunderbird, using the website interface with email host only when account problems surface. I hope this is helpful. Thank you.
