I am unsure what to call thunderbird when one enters in the application. I tried Geary and Evolution - set up instructions seem helpful and worked ok. But i would prefer going back yo thunderbird. But in thunderbird I am not so sure - I tried Thunderbird, Mail.... I haven't used an email client for a while but decided this week I would go back to using one. The web gmail UI seems to get more features added which I don't like. thanks james -- xubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users
