Installing Thunderbird on 2nd computer
I have Thunderbird on Computer A. Sitting right next to it on my desk, is Computer B, with a new harddrive running Windows 10. I've tried setting up TB on Computer B at the 'Set Up Your Existing Email Address screen , putting in the exact same settings I have for Computer A. See attached image. If you can direct me to the TB file that teaches how to install TB on Computer B, I'd be very happy! Bruce
