Hi Bill, sorry for the late reply, I have just found the alert mail sent on the 30th unfortunately it went into the junk folder, and I had forgotten which site I had posted my Question on
, sorry again.
I really want to save my mails to another hard drive as I have always done before using T'bird, its just for safety so that if I loose the HDD I won't loose all the saved mails
Something has changed within the program as I have had a look at the first 2016 mails that I saved using Thunderbird, and they were saved ok as .eml in the folder on my storage drive.
I do wonder why the dot extension is changed when I save the mail, and sometimes why when I first open some mails they have a band across the top saying "this mail is read only" also with the pictures taken out, I don't understand that.
Regards Robert.
