I'm changing to a different ISP, but the default email address in TB is lodged with the old ISP. How can I change the default to one of my Gmail addresses?

Thanks.

From the menu bar select Tools-Account Settings Select the account to make the default. At the bottom of the account list is Account Actions-Set as Default

No menu bar? Press the alt key.

Many thanks, Airmail. That Account Actions button is so easy to overlook.
