Bob414, That's it, now for the export. I see there isn't an "export" function/tool, one has to find the mail folders and simply copy them somewhere else, e.g., into the mail folders of another email client, or into another email client via its Import function/tool. Thunderbird does a "good job" of hiding the mail folders. To find the path go again to "account settings" (another way of getting there is to right click your mail folder directory, then click properties ) When at "account settings" highlight "local folders", this will give you a path to local folders in the right hand side of the account settings dialog box. There click "browse" that will open a file manager style window. There you'll see both local folders and something else that holds the folders created for In, Out, Sent, Trash, and all the other personal folders you created there. In my case it is a folder titled: "postoffice.worldnet..." Clicking on that you should see the names of all your folders. If you want to move this elsewhere I suggest you right click "postoffice..." and say copy to wherever you want it. In my case (typical I think) the path is: My Computer/C/ Documents and Settings/My Name/application data/thunderbird/profiles/mail/ here are two folders "Local" and "Postoffice.." Hope this help.

Malwarebytes finished scanning and there were no infected files found. Not sure there's much point in posting it here, but I'll post it just in case: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware 1.36 Database version: 2079 Windows 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2 5/5/2009 6:53:44 PM mbam-log-2009-05-05 (18-53-44).txt Scan type: Full Scan (C:\:) Objects scanned: 162741 Time elapsed: 26 minute(s), 40 second(s) Memory Processes Infected: 0 Memory Modules Infected: 0 Registry Keys Infected: 0 Registry Values Infected: 0 Registry Data Items Infected: 0 Folders Infected: 0 Files Infected: 0 Memory Processes Infected: (No malicious items detected) Memory Modules Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Keys Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Values Infected: (No malicious items detected) Registry Data Items Infected: (No malicious items detected) Folders Infected: (No malicious items detected) Files Infected: (No malicious items detected) ----------------------------- I guess the Avast boot time scan fixed the problem. Or it was some kind of weird glitch that automatically resolved itself by restarting the computer. Everything appears to be working well now. Thanks for all the help. Lynn.

I use Firefox and gmail. I have the "done" showing in my "status bar" @lower left. The status bar shows the progress of the page loading, and when it is fully loaded, the word "done" appears. Is this what you are referring to? If you have lost your status bar, go to "view" and see if "status bar" is checked? I have no problem "forwarding mail".

Can't help you with your email. I don't use Gmail or Yahoo anymore, to many problems. If you use FF look for "no squint" in the ad ons. You can adjust the font size there. The icon is always on my add on bar on the bottom, you can change the font size and the back ground color. I love the option to change the back ground color. Right now I have a orange sherbert color for a back ground. It saves eye strain caused by the bright white MS insists on using. The fonts on the tool bars are far to small for comfort. I change that right away when I set up my PC, it is a more stable change. In W 7 right click on the desktop, Personalize, click on window color, then on advance appearance. A menu will come up, click on the area you want the font or background color changed. I like this way better but some internet site fonts are to small and the no squint helps there. On my W 8 computer the font and background color change is under display.
