64 bit Thunderbird cannot be used by 32 bit programs. How can I revert back to 32 bit that installs in the (x86) folder?

I need to use Endicia to send emails to clients. After hours on the phone it turns out that it must be a 32 bit email to be recognized. I checked this link "https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/thunderbird/all/#E" downloaded the 32 bit version but it defaults to the regular program files not the (x86) folder. I will also need to save/move my existing messages and folders from F:drive to C. Thanks

try getting it from here http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbird/releases/68.5.0/win32/

 Everything in that folder is 32 bit.

Thank you!!! I will note however that it defaulted to the C:|programs folder. By changing it to the x86 program folder and creating a new "Mozilla Thunderbird" installation folder IT WORKS.

I did NOT uninstall the old/new 64 bit version. And will this 32 bit version update itself to 64 bit like the old/new one did which created this issue in the first place
