Using thunderbird with new domainhosting and webhosting provider
Heya:)
I am a webdesigner and I'm currently designing a website for a client that uses Thunderbird for his mails.
Previously, Domain, website, and email had been hosted with the former agency.
Now we are gonna split this up into 3 different providers:
Webhosting: Squarespace Domain hosting: Cyon.ch E-Mail hosting: Would be great to keep using Thunderbird :)
How can I ensure that my client can still use Thunderbird? Do I just need to change some DNS-records? Otherwise I will have to switch to gmail :(

To clarify, Thunderbird is an email client, not an email host. Your client can continue to use Thunderbird if you decide to use gmail as the host. I believe squarespace can work with google workspace.
That makes sense, thank you for the reply David :)
I guess then I will set up a Google Workspace Account for my client.
How could I transfer all Emails from Thunderbird to Gmail?
The question is really 'how to transfer emails from current email host to gmail.' What is the email host, and is this a POP or IMAP account to transfer?
I recommend NOT attempting to add to GMAIL, but to make to local folders. To do that - click tools>addons and add the importexporttools addon - The folders to move are in the POP account listing - position cursor over Local Folders - highlight each individually, rightclick and select the importexport menu to import mbox file - when done, all the message folders should be in Local Folders, and the POP account may now be deleted. - -
