Outlook/Thunderbird conflict - help please?

custardy

i would ensure outlook is set as default
then add the account details for the charity emails
also setting a rule to move these emails to a separate folder if you get a lot of emails

Why not set up separate identities for personal & charity use. That way everything to do with the charity is kept totally separate from you with no chance of conflict or misuse

Right ... I have gone to Set Programme Access and defaults

under choose a default it is set to - use my curent e-mail programme.

Thunderbird is shown below but is not selected nor is the other one shown - Outlook Express.

I am confused!

Setting up 2 identities - don't I already have this? My original one and the new one set up by the charity? It is just that the new one seems to be taking over so far as the internet goes? Sounds a good idea but I have no idea what it means or how to do it. Floundering! Could you explain please and i will give it my best shot?

No, he meant to set up two identities in Outlook and that Outlook will ask you upon every start which one to use. BTW, do you mean Outlook or Outlook Express. I'm not sure as you mentioned Outlook Express in one of your last posts. These are two completely different programs.

Just that Outlook Express was listed as a posssible. I think it is on my PC but I have always used Outlook.

How would I set up two identities on Outlook?

Set up separate User Accounts. Then you can have one account for personal matters and the other for charity matters. It also will allow you to set different defaults and keep everything totally separate so there's no possibility of confusion

Thanks.
Will look at setting up 2 accounts but scared of doing it wrong and mucking up even more.

Having done more digging and research it looks as though the problem is with my URL Mail to Protocol.

This is what I have been told but I know nothing about this.

Tried to locate this in File types but I do not seem to have this particular URL. If I could locate this I could try editing the file type box and selecting navigate to Outlook. Doe anyone have any idea where i could find this and if it sounds likely. So sacred of mucking things up further.
