I’m hoping that there is someone out there that could help me with my e-mail problems.
I have been a Thunderbird user for what seems like 30 years or more, but certainly it is a long time. For the best part of this time, so at least for over 15 years, I have been having problems that no one has been able to help me with. But, I just love how Thunderbird is laid out, and honestly, I am a creature of habit! Many friends have advised I move somewhere else, but have refrained to do so.
Where to start! My initial provider was madasafish, and later ported over to Thunderbird. After a few years, a female techie. friend set up my mails to use on PlusNet, so I could receive and send on my mobile too.
This went fairly well for a while, until PlusNet were not providing a very good service for e-mails, so now it is nearly impossible to use PlusNet, as after each action such as transferring an e-mail to a folder, it goes into refresh mode, and can sit there for minutes or hours! Is it possible to sync. my e-mails with a better provider other than PlusNet, and if so, could you please help me out with this?
However, a problem that I’ve had for some time now is not only have I lost a lot of e-mails from Thunderbird (and no one has been able to help me to recover them), but I am having difficulty sending e-mail from Thunderbird. The limitation of data now allowed on Thunderbird is very limiting, so I have had to learn from my son how to save my e-mails in a separate folder on my pc at a too regular basis.
What has motivated me to write again after so many years, is that it appears that there are changes coming about by Thunderbird that have been recently advertised, and I was rather hoping that there would be some developments that could make my life easier after such a long time.
You don’t have to be a techie. to recognise that I am not, so if anyone has the knowledge and patience to help me out, I would be very grateful.
