All you need is thunderbird, nothing else, it is built it.

Hi Marty,

If you have a firewall, check to see if thats got email protection included.

With my firewall is has everything i need in it and its Via Zone Alarm

up until now ive used windows fire wall

and it has served me well

but i didnt think of it in terms of blocking email spam

well i learned something

I think that Thurderbird can be installed by itself, I will look into that for you.

Marty,

I have had a look into this and I'm 100% sure that thunderbird can be installed by it self. To download:

Marty I made the switch to Thunderbird a few years back and can say beyond a shadow of a doubt you will never miss OE.

Hey first Opera now Thunderbird our little boy is growing up (sentimental tear in corner of eye).
