I do not know how to remove my g-mail account information from Thunderbird so I do not keep getting e-mails from my g-mail account showing up in Thunderbird.

I need help knowing which pulldown, and which choice to select, in order to remove the account info for my g-mail account which keeps forwarding all my g-mail e-mails to Thunderbird even after I have deleted all the unwanted e-mails in g-mail.

Gmail is not your main mail account? If you have mail accounts you no longer want Thunderbird to check, you can delete them in the Account Settings dialog (there's a button at the bottom left). Either:

  • 3-bar menu button > Options > Account Settings
  • tap the Alt key > Tools menu > Account Settings

If Gmail is set up as an IMAP account (this is indicated on the Server Settings section) then all of the folders for the account should be removed from Thunderbird. They should, however, remain on the server. If in doubt, someone probably could describe how best to make a backup.

Does that make sense?
