Help with change of Default in Mozilla Thunderbird

Good Golly · Aug 12, 2009

Is there someone out there who can help me to change my default in Mozilla Thunderbird. Presently it dumps any saved email texts into a file somewhere that is buried so deep in this computer that I can never find it! I did see it once, but have never been able to duplicate how I got there. The Geek Squad guys, who didn't know how to fix this suggested that I try this venue and that surely there would be someone out there who could help me out! Thanks in advance! Good Golly
