You're saying that I can only use the account either as an IMAP or as a
POP3. Yes, I understand that I can only use it one way or the other in
Thunderbird, but that's not what I'm talking about. I use it as:
- an IMAP in FIREFOX
- as a POP3 in Thunderbird.

What's so hard to understand about that? What am I saying that's wrong here?
