Clive's situation is that he has an account with one email/domain name supplier that has been bought out by another and now some of his emails don't get through anymore. The new supplier has given him a c-panel to access their facilities. It seems that they do not intend to really support the company that they bought, or migrate stuff over to their own system. He has four email addresses on this domain name, but we have just been working with one.
Smartly, Clive has Thunderbird filters set up to move many emails to Folders on localhost. We had both webmail (old Supplier) and T-bird up and emails in Localhost are not on Webmail. We proved to ourselves that emails deleted from either webmail or T-bird were very quickly deleted from the other. There are very few emails in the T-Bird inbox, so Clive is going to move these to a Localhost holding folder. Then he will go into server settings for this account and try and set it to the new companies values. If you never hear from him again, it didn't work. If successful, he could move the emails back from the holding folder to the inbox (Copy, not move!) Peter On 15/01/2020 17:17, Ralph Corderoy wrote:
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. Any alternative methods better suited to Thunderbird?
