Sorry but I am struggling.
I am willing to migrate from windows where I think that I am reasonably competent and I write applications.
A couple of issues that I have hit in the first half day. I haven't got past trying to install and run Thunderbird yet?
1, I wish to access the software centre to install a new version of Thunderbird. It asks for my password and seems to accept my password as no error message appears, but nothing further happens at all. I tried not entering the password and get an immediate error message so I guess that the password is working but that Ultimate Edition is not responding or am I missing something?
2. When I downloaded Thunderbird it did just that and nothing more, No offer to install or anything. Is this normal?
3. i have set up the existing Thunderbird as per my existing computer, Thunderbird gives no error message relating to connection but does not seem to connect. I use IMAP so it should fill up with my existing folders and emails but nothing. How can I test that the connection is being made? I see no test button. Firefox is working fine and worked as soon as I plugged in the router cable which was great.
Many thanks for any help given
