On my laptop when I try to send an email the spell checker box appears. I have tried turning thunderbird off then on again but with the same result. This first happened after I tried a spell check on an email which did not work (did not check the text) and all the time since every time I try to send an email all I get is the spell checker box. To send an email I have had to come out of Thunderbird and go into Yahoo mail to recover the draft and send it that way. I would apreciate any help you can give me. A second issue is that my phone app does not talk to talk windows 10 laptop. This is probabley a setting problem as I can get Inbox but cannot get Drafts (tried to send email by phone but Drafts was empty). Thanks Peter
