My current service provider, Verizon, will soon no longer provide email serving. I wish to stay with Thunderbird; but must use another provider. How to do that?
So do I just choose another email svc provider of my choosing? Is there one that works better with Thunderbird? I'd hoped to keep Thunderbird. Verizon (my ISP and email Provider) will no longer be providing email svc and I cannot keep a verizon.net email address unless I make AOL my email provider. But, if I do that I cannot use Thunderbird, if I'm reading the notice from Verizon correctly. I MUST find another email provider before May 2nd. Help greatly appreciated.

It looks like it should be no problem using Thunderbird and keeping your email address as long as you log that with Verizon.
Reading this third party news Item it seems it is possible to move over to AOL but keep a similar email address

... Verizon users who choose the AOL option will still be able to keep their existing addresses, which will carry the “verizon.net” ending. They will, however, have to let Verizon know that they want to hang on to their addresses and log in through AOL's system from now on, the email said. ...

Can I use a third party email program such as Outlook or Thunderbird, to access my verizon.net email with AOL Mail? Yes, you can use a third party email program such as Outlook or Thunderbird to access your verizon.net email with AOL Mail. If you previously used a third party program to access your mail, you simply need to update your password to the one you created when you registered with AOL Mail. To update your password settings, follow the instructions in the help article titled, Verizon Move to AOL Mail: Updating your third party email program or mobile device with your new account information (POP3). link
If you would like to use an email client with your new AOL Mail account and you ARE NOT currently using an email client configured with POP3, follow the steps in the help article titled, Verizon Move to AOL Mail: Setting up your new AOL account in a third party email program or mobile device (IMAP). link
