Hello there, I had an institutional Gmail account from my university. Since I no longer work there, they deactivated the account today. I saved all my mails on a local folder and removed the account from Thunderbird, however, it keeps asking me to log in in the deactivated account, which is impossible. I don't know how to fix this since the account is no longer listed in Thunderbird. Any suggestions?

Look carefully, likely in accountsettings. Another test is help>moretroubleshootinginformation. Scroll down and you will see a table showing every account.
