Why Thunderbird isBest Email Client for your Family or Office |
by:

Nowadays, most of us have so many email addresses, it's hard jusy to keep track of our own, let alone manage those of our family and colleagues as well. Throw newsgroup sunscriptions and multiple storage folders intomix as well, and it'smanagement nightmare.
Mozilla Thunderbird, my email client of choice, solves this problem effectively and easily with Profiles.
How do Thunderbird Profiles work?
Thunderbird allows multiple users to set upemail client to suit their own specific needs and tastes, from Themes and Extensions to Email accounts, Inboxes and Newsgroup subscriptions.
Upon startup of Thunderbird, you are able to choose which user profile you would like to use.
So, you can now haveprofile for yourself, one for your partner, and even one forkids (allowing you to increase Thunderbirds's spam and security measures).
Each profile is independent ofothers, so it's like havingnew installation for each user.
How do I activate Thunderbird Profiles?
one. Firstly, findThunderbird shortcut on your desktop (or create one from.exe file).
two. Right-click it, and select properties.
three. Lastly, inTarget box, add ' -p' withoutapostrophes toend oftarget line (so that it reads something like 'C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Thunderbird\thunderbird.exe -p'), and click OK.
Now when you start Thunderbird through this shortcut you will be prompted withProfiles Manager box (as long as you do not already have Thunderbird open). It's all self-explanatory from thereon.
For faster start-up, I advise that you keep two shortcuts on your desktop - one to load up Thunderbird as normal, and this new one to execute only when you want to change profile.
