Hi,
A Thunderbird question; I've not used it.
Thunderbird is happily fetching mail from a POP3 account.
The supplier of the account is going to start storing emails sent to the
account on a new server to be accessed at a different domain name, etc.
They'll stop storing emails on the old server.
Can Thunderbird be told there's a second POP3 account to check for email
whilst continuing to access the first? With emails from both
effectively merging together in the one inbox? This would avoid the
need to synchronise Thunderbird's switch-over with the supplier.
I've only used TB for IMAP, and you can certainly have multiple accounts. It
looks like this

answers your exact question.

Interesting. I collect emails from 4 accounts with Thunderbird, and each is
kept separate as in the initial diagram on the link.
I looked at the server settings for each and this feature of unifying the
accounts is only available on the Pop accounts, not on the IMAP ones. That is
to be expected of course.
One feature(?) that I use if the filtering of emails received in one account
can be stored in folders for another account. I know that this works But wonder
if it is valid for both Pop and IMap mails as I haven't gone through all my
filters to check.

(had a quick look at filters and boy do I need to go through them and tidy up)
