Is there a printed book on how to use Thunderbird, like the "Dummies" series of books - which would be helpful for us seniors?
I am a senior citizen who was very comfortable using Outlook. Then MS took away XP and I had to get a new computer with Windows 8.1. My service people suggested Mozilla and loaded it. Do you (or does anyone) publish a book with all the info I need to navigate your program all in one place? (I read info printed on a page a lot better than on a computer screen.) A format such as the "Dummies" or "Idiot's" series would be fine. Presently, I look up instructions on you web page and then have to write them down. Are your instructions available in PDF format or something where I might just print them out? A "Quick Tour" print out detailing what to expect from each heading / menu item would be helpful. And knowing how Thunderbird compares - item to item in the parlance of both systems - with the features in Outlook would be the Holy Grail. My "Dummies" book on Win 8.1 references Outlook but not Thunderbird. Parkinson's has slowed my brain a bit so I apologize for my lack of technical skill and knowledge or computer terms. Also, are there keyboard shortcuts for using bold, underline and italics in the body of my emails? Thanks for your patience.

I'm going to try to print it out as soon as I get a new printer. But at least I now have the web address. I'm in the process of accumulating as much information a I can. It's a slow, flat learning curve. Through your post, I learned what FLOSS means. Thanks again. I feel smarter already.

Maybe this online manual would help.
Not sure how well printing it out would work, though.
It's a little confusing because Outlook now is associated with three different things. Which one were you using?
- The free program Outlook Express that came with Windows XP
- The Outlook program included in some versions of Microsoft Office
- Outlook.com, the successor to Live Mail, which was the successor to Hotmail
It was the free program that came with XP. I had no idea there was more than one Outlook. Thanks for clarifying that.
