Hello..... I really like the facility of using Thunderbird, as it lets me implement my AOL messages in such a manner that it is easier to search within historical emails from individual parties. However, I have never been able to use the program without it crashing upon closing the session. It doesn't matter how I "exit" or "close", or just X-out the program, within a minute or so I get a gray box which says that "Thunderbird Has Crashed", and asks for my comments....every....single....time. Is there some way around having to close out the "Crash Box", after the crash ? Why do you think I always crash on the way out ? Thanks for your help, of any kind. Dave S. (DLSWEBZ@AOL.COM)
