I have installed Thunderbird in an attempt to escape from BT's email setup. Unfortunately, the Thunderbird I seem to have I am finding very difficult to use. Things like what to view, and how to arrange the various elements to view. Also, I seem to have a long list of messages in the inbox etc which takes a very long to time to load. I'm just wondering whether to uninstall it, and try again. Advice on setting it up would be welcomed. But please note I am not very computer-literate so, if it is a product intended for experienced users, should I try a 'Plan B'...?

I suggest starting with five suggestions: - First, be sure the menu bar is visible (File, Edit, View, Go, Messages, Events&Tasks, Tools, Help) If not shown, click alt key to show it and then click view>toolbars and tick the menu bar. Seeing that all the time simplifies finding elements of Thunderbird. - Second, experiment with view>layout to see how you prefer to display the main elements - Third, don't UNtick any features until you have some awareness of what they do, as some elements have additional menu choices - Fourth, click 'settings' and review all settings under 'General' and 'Composition' and 'Privacy&Security' - Fifth, click 'account settings' and review all options for your account MANY users ignore the fourth an fifth suggestions to their peril.

Good luck.
