I constantly have to change passwords because fraud dept at earthlink.net notices suspicious behavior. My emails are being forwarded without my consent and they shut down my current password and I have to change to a new password.

EarthLink is an email provider. They provide you with an email address and email service.

Thunderbird is email client software. It helps you check and manage email received on your providers server.

You need a provider. Pick one. Add them to Thunderbird.

There are several free providers Gmail and gmx are 2.

Run the new account wizard and set up your Earthlink account in Thunderbird. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/automatic-account-configuration

I did that, I want to get rid of Earthlink period, not use them as conduit for Thunderbird. As it is, I have to give Earthlink password to send emails through Thunderbird.
