My mail provider has withdrawn their service. I have set up a new gmail account, how do I set Thunderbird to receive emails from 2 email addresses?
Vodafone NZ is closing their email service, They have instructed users to set up Gmail or outlook accounts. I have chosen G mail and my new email address is raineychalmers@gmail.com. They have promised to forward all emails to Gmail but I still want to use Thunderbird. How do I set up Thunderbird so that it receives existing clear.net.nz emails and new gmail emails? Thanks

Add another mail account for the new gmail email address. 'Menu icon' > 'New Message' > 'Existing Mail Account'

re :Vodafone NZ is closing their email service
If this is an imap mail account, then I would advise you get a copy of all emails and put them into 'Local Folders' mail account.
Synchronise folders for offline use to download a complete copy into Thunderbird.
In offline mode, check you read emails, if yes then all is ok.
Highlight a block of emails and use right click 'Copy to' and select a folder in 'Local Folders'.
Why ?
Because if they clear the emails off server and you manage to synch with an empty account, you may lose emails.
