# **1. 📨 What is Thunderbird.net Email?**

Thunderbird.net was once a popular email service offered by SBC Communications. Later, SBC merged with MOZILLA. So now, Thunderbird email accounts are managed through MOZILLA and accessed through Yahoo Mail.
So, if you’re trying to log into yourname@thunderbird.net, you’ll need to use MOZILLA’s login page or Yahoo Mail login. Even though the brand is no longer active, your email still works.

# **6. 📞 How to Recover Thunderbird Account Without Phone or Email**
# 
If you no longer have access to your recovery email or phone number, don’t panic. Here's what to do:

**Method 1: Use a Known Device**

Sometimes, it remembers your login session and lets you reset your password without recovery info.

**Method 2: Contact MOZILLA Support Directly**

Here’s how to do it:
1.	**Call MOZILLA Customer Support at 1-877-513-2924**
2.	Tell them your Thunderbird email is locked, and you’ve lost your recovery access
3.	Be ready to provide:
o	Your full name
o	Old password (if you remember)
o	Approximate date of account creation
o	Previous contact info
o	Billing address (if linked to MOZILLA)
Once they verify your identity, they can help you reset or recover your account.
