Just started to use thunderbrid instead of windows livemail 2011/windows mail
hope you can answer a few questions:
Ive managed to get it showing my google calendar, in te events pane ( upcoming events) is there anyway to extend the upcoming events to more than 4 weeks?
Deleted items folder, i use multiple email accounts, is there a global delete all ( ie from all mail accounts)
Attachments - is it possible to drag and drop attachments into e-mails?
Read receipt, in windows live mail there is an option for a read receipt, this appears to be missing??
same email to multiple people, i have a few mailing lists set up with a semi colon separating them such as joe.blogs@isp.com; fred.blogs@isp.com; jane.blogs@isp.com ie email address semi colon, space next email address semi colon space email address semi colon and so on this doesn't appear to work in Thunderbird?

Re: Just started with Thunderbird
1. That would be better asked in the Calendar forum. You may wish to create a new topic on the question in that location.
2. Deleted items -- Essentially, no, there is not. But how is the account set up in Thunderbird, as POP or IMAP? Find out using menu path Tools->Account Settings->Server Settings->Server Type at the top right of the dialogue.
3. Yes.
4. Did you try menu path Options->Return receipt while in Thunderbird's composition window?
5. The use of semi-colons as a separator is a non-standard anomaly of Microsoft email programs. The Internet standard for lists of that sort is to use a comma instead. Also see this article -- http://kb.mozillazine.org/Mailing_lists
