Hi!

I signed up for a private email service and they recommended I access it thru thunderbird.

To sign up for thunderbird I had to use my gmail in order to access the verification number.

Now thunderbird has downloaded my entire gmail account AND made gmail my default opening on thunderbird which is the opposite of what I want.

How do I remove gmail from thunderbird and how do I set up the other service?

This. has become a real mess!

I presume you have just one email account on Thunderbird: the gmail account. Thunderbird makes it the default if it is the only account. To set up the private account select File>New>Existing Mail Account and enter the setup instructions you received. Once that is done, you can remove the Gmail account.

Just highlight the Gmail account in left pane, rightclick and select 'settings'. On next pane, scroll down slightly until you see 'Account Actions'. That is a dropdown menu and one option is to remove account. That will do it.
