Different dictionary

[puternut]

Good morning.

I have installed Mozilla Thunderbird as my sole e-mail reader and noted that the dictionary loaded was 'English/U.S.'

Being from England I wanted to use the 'English/UK' dictionary so downloaded the file to my desktop but trying many ways to install it I am still left with English/US' on its own.

Any advice you might have I would be grateful.

Hi,
To install any extensions into Thunderbird, just open, Tools > Addons & drag 'n' drop the .xpi file
into the screen.
Close & re-open Thunderbird to complete.

You might also want to consider replacing the current program with the English (British) version so that menus, etc. will match the localized version -- https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/all/

Clear the browser cache and the Windows Temp directory.
Shutdown any anti-virus software you are running.
Download a new copy of the full installer from http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/thunderbird/
Delete the directory C:\Program Files\Mozilla Thunderbird
Run the installer.
Restart the anti-virus program.

Note that your saved messages, address books, settings, passwords, etc (if any) are stored in a different directory from the program files and will not be removed by deleting the directory identified above.
