I will use the link you provided, thank you. I do (or at least thought) I was going to the MS site to download the last 2012 Essentials and then just unchecked every thing except live mail to...

I really appreciate all the info both of you have provided. I did put Windows Live Mail 2012 back on my computer and made new storage folders and imported my contacts. The problem was outlook.com...

No problem and your welcome for the update. You helped me out with my other problem so spreading information to the TB, Firefox users, and Microsoft, community is what these forums are all about....

I do not want to change from outlook.com to my gmail.com account because I would have to inform my entire address book ( who I just got to remember to use outlook instead of hotmail because...

Yes, it seems only because of using hotmail or outlook, below are the three threads I read:
1. Bcc addresses shown as mozillaZine Forums
2....

Went to the forums.mozillazine.org and as it turns out I'm not the only one having this problem. It seems that Microsoft has dropped some kind of mail handling in hotmail and outlook when using other...

This had always been a problem. The person that informed me of this sent me a text picture of his computer screen showing everyone in the "To:" line.
I didn't change anything in the "Manage...

We all end up on the "To:" line
And another thing, it always puts two send emails in the send folder, /?

Every time I send email with Thunderbird I put multiple recipients in the Bcc: section and no one in the To: section and that is what is shown. However, when the people I'm sending it to get the...

I'm sure glad you posted that, cause I was sure fixated :o on the "Manage Identities" thing I never even saw that "Account Actions" at the bottom. I put Thunderbird on my wife's computer today and...

Excellent! Thank you very much for the info. All I had to do was change the name on the duplicate account and then follow your instructions above in post #11. For some stupid reason I never saw that...

Thunderbird is work normally for me, except I can't get rid of this duplicate account. I was able to rename it to an old gmail account I had but when I click on manage identities the delete button is...

I use the web version of outlook.com not sure if that works anymore. I thought you had to buy the "outlook express" program from Microsoft. I will try the WLM 2012 mail again and see if it does.

For starters, what version of TB are you now running?
Are your mail accounts ISP, webmail, Exchange, and/or other?
POP3 or IMAP?
Installed security programs (AV, firewall, etc)?
SSL/STARTLS/TLS?...

Thank you for the quick reply.
So to answer the question I want to do something less destructive. I would like to keep Thunderbird like it is, just delete the duplicate account I made.

Or I'm killing myself, but anyway I'm not very computer savvy. I really have been fighting Microsoft since my WLM stopped working with outlook.com. Prior to that I lost Hotmail.com because of some...

Ok, got it. Thanks again.

I am not to familiar with this windows 10 stuff, so I don't know if I need to sign in with my Microsoft account for one and two, "You will need to sign in on a local account", how do I do that? The...

After upgrading to windows 10 I added my outlook.com account to "mail" in windows 10. I didn't like it, and had trouble using the "sync" function but eventually got it synced and folders rebuilt and...
