Hi Bighorn apologies for not replying sooner. May I take this opportunity to thank you for keeping a watchful eye on the forum. I'm glad to say that transferring from windows live mail to thunderbird is now complete.
I hope you don't mind me including with this reply my thanks to Peter as I can't see his post which Windows 10 Forum emailed to me on 6 Mar 2023 (fortunately I printed a copy). If Peter you do see my post I really appreciated your input which, together with Grizzly's, provided the solutions I needed. My tech guy also sends his thanks which will help his other customers.
