This is your own domain?
Keep your domain. Move your email to google apps (and keep yourname@yourdomain email address.) In fact, you could just let google apps manage everything for you including the domain name itself.
My small ISP moved all its email to google apps. Same email address, different servers. Choice of pop, imap (both secure) with secure connection for smtp and you can still use the web interface.

Yes, I have my own domain and an e-mail address associated with that domain. They work properly.
I also have another email address that I've had for dogs years that is hosted by an ISP. I do not own that domain.
A couple of days ago I destroyed my primary computer and bought a new one. I've been rebuilding my filesystem since then.
Since that time, it appears that even after I quit Thunderbird, my mail is still being read (for my original email address). I want to find and resolve that issue, not work around it.

Are you running something like ThunderTray that puts in in the system notification area?

Try removing t-bird, download and re-install. Your settings, etc should be saved.
If you have any add-ons and you still have the problem, try disabling the add-ons one at a time.
The suggestion to move to google apps was because you really want an imap email server, and all that's currently available to you is pop. An imap server won't have these issues even if you have multiple email clients running. It's up to you if you want to stick with a pop server. If you think that's too complicated, I don't know what to tell you. You are trying to fit a round peg into a square hole, and of course that doesn't work.

This Vista/Thunderbird/Webmail issue is a weirdness that I want to understand. It is an anomaly and thus a challenge.
I'm intrigued by the idea of the Thunderbird UI closing and yet leaving the process running, but I haven't been able to duplicate that. That is why my W.T.F OP.
Sorry if I mislead anyone, but I'm trying to figure out what is going on, not looking for a workaround.

There are several bugs filed about the process remaining after an exit. I will see if they give me a clue.
