I had used Outlook Express in the past, then somehow the address book got corrupted; I could see email but not reply or forward. I downloaded something to fix the address book and it failed. Is there something I have to do to Outlook Express so that Thunderbird takes over? I am going to try and delete all accounts out of Hotmail and see if that helps, but all these extensions that people say to access from TB menu, I can't access at all even though I installed them, restarted TB, when that didn't work I rebooted the PC and still, can't access the extensions to do anything with them.
