About 5 years ago (maybe more, maybe less) I lost my password to Thunderbird and ever since have been using workarounds via AOL to do business (AOL since my email address is ricksimpson@verizon.net ... I'm assuming you are aware of the Verizon abandoning their email service sometime back and AOL picking up ling all the verizon.net traffic). So, is there a way that I can NOW get into my email without knowing the password or changing the password without knowing the current PW?
