Thunderbird queries mail accounts that should not be queried
In my Thunderbird, I have also an account that belongs to the mail adress of my wife ( a Gmail account), in case that she wants to write an eMail on my PC. All "query" options are disabled ( query when starting Thunderbird, query all xxx minutes, query when new messages arrive on server). Nevertheless, everyday a few emails adressed to my wife are still displayed in my Thunderbird. What else can I do to avoid this ? As described at the beginning, I don't want to delete my wifes account completely from Thunderbird.

I suggest you create a new profile with just her account. Thunderbird is unable to ignore an active account. To do that,
- click help>troubleshootinginformation
- scroll own to 'profiles' and click 'about:profiles'
- click the 'create profiles' button
- click next
- for shortcut, enter something short, such as WIFEPROFILE
- then, click finish and launch
- now, in new profile, set up her gmail account
- now, exit thunderbird
- assuming you use windows, rightclick on the thunderbird desktop icon and select properties
- on the target line where it shows thunderbird.exe add a space and then -p save and exit.
- now, when you click the thunderbird icon, profile manager will start and you can select your profile or hers
- I suggest you now remove her account from your profile
- next, enjoy the experience of 'happy wife, happy life' :)
