I have a desktop and my wife has a laptop and we wish to access our single email address independently. We are currently using “Live Mail” which can delete the mail from the server after 5 days which allows us to access the mail independently during those 5 days. I would like to switch to Thunderbird using either IMAP or POP3. Which choice will let us access the mail in the same way we are currently doing? Thanks, Jim B

If an account is accessed on several devices, desktops, laptops, phones etc., the usual choice is IMAP, so the mail is synced across all devices. This works if a single user accesses the account, but if multiple users access the account, you would need to be careful if are accessing it at the same time.

Consider having separate accounts for each user, and adding them both as IMAP on all devices to make it easier to create folders and copy mail between accounts.
