i have a new email address, @shortmail.me, i tried to install it Thunderbird claimed password was wrong so i logged in via browser to check and it wasn't, i think maybe POP server # was wrong, i tried again and it claims 'server already exists'. I tried looking for the profiles .ini & default something to delete as in 2011 people said solved the problem but i can't find them. Am using latest Thunderbird, whatever that is. Not very good at computer stuff but can follow instructions. Thanks, sorry for your time and trouble.
