    Mozilla Thunderbird problem
    « on: December 11, 2008, 10:44:06 AM »
    Hello
    I installed thunderbird to handle my email(g mail).
    I selected Firefox as my default browser.Now I cannot use my hotmail or aol  email programs to send.I hav'nt received any either,so maybe that is unavailable also.
    My new g mail does'nt work.I have a USERNAME and PASSWORD,but Thunderbird does not accept it.
    I have a MASTER PASSWORD,and searched my password bank.None are listed for Firefox or Thunderbird.Could that be my problem?
    Thanks
    Frank

    I'm not familiar with Thunderbird but it's only logical to assume that using it for email usually means setting up a POP3 mail account in Thunderbird.  Since Gmail can be configured for POP mail, that's the easy part of your question.  See http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=12103

    I'm not aware that either hotmail or AOL email can be received as POP mail.  How were you doing this before you installed Thunderbird?

      Hello:   Windows XP sp 3:

      Can someone please tell me how to UNinstall Mozilla Thundebird?

      It wouldn't accept my password, so I uninstalled it from Add/Remove.

      Re-downloaded it - and it was the same program, with the same problem.

      I don't know how to completely get rid of it, so I can download it, anew and try it again.

      I am grateful for any help you can be.

      Not a tech.

      Many thanks,

      Ann G.
