need new email address to use with Thunderbird
We have used Thunderbird as an email HANDLER with our Windstream addresses. Now, we need two new addresses. The GMX site has a glitch. When I looked for other free email providers, Thunderbird popped up. I have always thought that Thunderbird was a handler only. I love the filing system. I want to keep using it. I am wondering why Thunderbird was presenting itself as an email provider and not just a handler.
Our local computer guy said to stay away from Yahoo and Hotmail, but that he knew nothing about others. We need something new to us we can start using with Thunderbird while saving our 17 GB of old messages saved in Thunderbird. Yes, I do run a backup occasionally.

Your earlier perception is correct: Thunderbird is an email client to manage email accounts, but does not itself provide email accounts. If you're seeking free email accounts, there is always Gmail and Outlook, and a web search would likely bring up several more.
Thanks, David. Gmail is not an option. I set up Gmail as a transition many years ago. I have been advised not to try to merge that rather large file with the 17 GB of saved email ini Thunderbird. I am wanting a brand new email with no baggage.
Still searching for free email that has at least 30 MB for an attachment as I often send group of photos. When I see that in a free email, it either doesn't work at all with Thunderbird or it only allows one user.
I need two users and only two, but still want more than 10 MB for attachments.
An option is to resize the photos. Most cameras take photos that can be reduced significantly.
Hey, David. I am aware that photos can be resized, but an unsure why anyone would want to reduce the resolution and therefore the quality of a picture. So. still need a free email with the ability to attach at least 30 MB.
If the photo is viewed on the PC, not printed and framed, you will find that a photo of 150k shows as well as one of 5 meg.
