I wish to add email identity deborahstpeter1@gmail.com to my account keweston82@gmail.com. Deborah is in a nursing home and as Power of Attorney I handle all her financial affairs on line. I had to replace my old computer which included Deborah's email in my Thunderbird email account but I've been unsuccessful getting her added to my new computer. I'm 83 years old and operating my old computer, which is where Mozilla's responses are going, and my new computer from which I'm communicating with Mozilla, plus two different mouses, I'm making a lot of mistakes i.e. click a computer scream with the wrong mouse. I wish to add Deb to my account with as little involvement on my part as possible. You can send a verification code to deborstpeter1@gmail.com and I will be sure to use the correct mouse.

Please ask Thunderbird to stop making a tab on my taskbar every time I open an email. I have to close each one individually, and I never asked for these to be shown, and I don't need them shown. This is a tedious extra chore. I already have access to emails that I receive in my in box. It shows the history. I don't need any other index to them. Do you know how to stop making any other such tab or index? If not, please pass this on, and please don't say that you can't pass on this request. Someone decided to make these tabs show up on my screen and task bar, and to require me to close them by clicking on each little red X mark. I should be able to make contact with whoever makes these decisions and writes these programs, and to provide feedback and suggestions to them.
