Fresh Install of Thunder Bird. Trying to send a new e-mail but not finding a SEND command there is only a SEND LATER button. Is there something wrong with my set-up that I need to change?

Also how can I change the font size of the tiles in my folders. I've searched the set-up over and over and not seeing an option for a font change. There is only a font change for new email.

Thanks Mike

Never Mind - I tried STARTTLS instead of SSL/TLS and it works now. Problem solved.

THis indicates that Thunderbird is offline. try clicking file>offline and see if 'work offline' is ticked. if so, untick it.

Thanks David - I did verify it was set-on-line but I found the problem to be with the set-up of the out-mail server. The default for Charter.net needed to be changed. Once I revised that the SEND button became available. Although still not able to connect with the out-mail server but the in-mail works fine. I verified the out-mail server, port and encryption were set the same as the old computer, which is working fine. I turned off the VPN and Firewall but still would not send. I'll keep trying to see what I can get to work.

Any thoughts on how to change the Font size of the folder titles or the incoming message titles? Mike

Bummer - cannot get TB to send. Charter/Spectrum is no help and is directing me to you. Might have to find another e-mail app. :(
