Computer problem (why no section for this)

Whoops. No, I am now happy with my computer again.....but maybe I better not speak too soon....

Sorry, I misread the header to the message and thought that the "Thanks, Mick" was an aside (Did wonder why) and the ads were on the Thunderbird page.

That is very odd, Alie I don't get any ads at all ! But I don't get my emails online, I have them downloaded to my laptop. Perhaps that is the difference?

Elegran - thanks.

Mick - I just found that page too irritating. I guess it's ok if you don't mind the ads! It took so long to get into the email.

At the moment I'm very happy with the Thunderbird.

I have a BT email account,and find that I use there homepage on IE, I use the homepage as my own.
I just click on Bt .com page email , this opens up a new screen, then put in the needed info, to access my email.

So far - it's good!

Click on "date" in the headings at the top of the email list and it will reverse the order they are in, and back again with another click, You can order them by subject, A-Z or Z-A, and by "from" A-Z or Z-A. Useful if you are looking for emails from a certain person, or one whose subject you remember. You can also search inside all the emails for words or phrases.

Just got Thunderbird, looks fine!

New emails at the bottom - can I change that?

No ads.

Looking at Thunderbird - I'm using Firefox anyway and don't really want to change!
It doesn't look as if it has ads, yes?

I meant Thunderbird, Feetlebaum - That is the mail arm of Firefox. I have both and got the names mixed. No problems with either of them.

@Elegran : Does Firefox have a mail client? I don't think so...

gmail is free, easy to set up and use.

There's also good old Hotmail as well.

If you have Google Chrome you can also integrate your calendar and Google Docs with your gmail.

I use yahoo and its easy once you get used to it. The Tech forum is the place to ask!

How about Firefox? I have that and have no problems. You can transfer your contact list to it. It is free.

I second Anno on gmail. Easy to use and you can integrate other google services like search and maps.

I use gmail which is pretty good at dealing with Spam and keeps promotional emails separate from personal ones.

Opera Mail is what I use - comes with my Opera browser, which is also free!

Could be worth trying.......but I notice it sends other people ads!

I have used incredimail for 5 years, I find it very easy.
