There are quite a few Thunderbird users around, so you've definitely come to the right place. It's a solid email client, but the exact setup or troubleshooting steps often depend on the email provider and what issue you're running into.Before I bore you to death and over explain I would like to know if anyone here can help me with the installation and functioning of Thunderbird?
If you describe the problem you're having, I'm sure someone here will be able to help you get it sorted.
