I want two e-mail accounts, one to deal with incoming addressed to postmaster, and the other to deal with incoming addressed to my first name. Thunderbird did do this before the rebuild, but I cannot persuade Thunderbird to accept the postmaster account - it complains that there is something wrong with the username and password, but doesn't say which, and I cannot understand what I am putting in that is wrong. I have used the same password for the other account, and I have tried "penneck", "penneck+graham", and "graham", as my username, but it still complains.
In the account that does work, there are differences between what I had before the rebuild and what I have now. Thunderbird used to wait until I told it to collect incoming e-mails, but now it just grabs them immediately. Also, when the pre-rebuild Thunderbird grabbed the incomong, it deleted them from the ISP server. Now it just copies them.
I don't find Thunderbird's Help at all helpful. It doesn't seem to deal with processes that haven't worked in the way they claim it would.
There you are ladies and gentlemen. Three Thunderbird problems that I am asking for help solving, please. Thanks for any help

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.

So one problem solved, and two left to go, PLUS a new one - can I get both the incoming postmaster@ e-mails and the username@ e-mails to go into one "In Tray"?
Onwards and upwards
Thanks for your help

That is so all incoming e-mails go into one In Tray. Username@username.plusnet.com e-mails should come in as if they are postmaster@ e-mails anyway.
The reason for having 3 possible addresses for e-mails (postmaster, username, and firstname) is so that I can sort out the good from the bad while the e-mails haven't got any further than mailwasher
Thanks

Mailwasher will then be set to check that mailbox and start Thunderbird when you ask for mail to be collected.
Thunderbird should be configured to collect mail from just that one mailbox. To stop it downloading emails before you've reviewed them you need to set appropriate Server Settings for that account. I think you need to untick "Automatically check for new messages every xxx minutes". To stop it leaving messages on the server make sure "Leave messages on server" is not ticked.
I assume you are unable to send emails because the Outgoing Server (SMTP) settings are incorrect. Have you edited the default settings to select "Authentication method: No authentication" and "Connection Security: None"?

I have set both accounts in Thunderbird to use the 'Global In Box', and I have sent a test e-mail which seems to have left me without the failure warning message appearing, so I assume you have fixed that.
So to you and to W23, my thanks for your help

And Microsoft have not made it easy to migrate from 2003 to 2010 or 2013, so I am reading.
