My computer crashed. My new computer I have installed Thunderbird to resume my emails. I have 5 years of emails that are off line I need to access. Thunderbird will not accept my credentials for GMAIL. I have tried all of the setting recommended by both GMAIL and Thunderbird. Said I had wrong password for awhile. Finally stopped doing that. Now says that the server already exists. IT WAS NEVER SET UP!!! It is something to do with Thunderbird because I got another client to set up with no problems. I just need Thunderbird so that I can access those old offline emails. Any ideas??????

I have two accounts in current issue TB.

Cannot send emails through either smtp server, AOL or gmail.

Always receive AOL password request that do not work.
