[Carl Tatlock]

Carl in VT here;  I am tired of plowing snow, although the 1945 2N did a 
great job.  I'm 75 and "Scruffy"  is 62 , so we had a total of 137 years 
between us but we both did OK .     Now that I'm back inside and fingers 
will work again, I'm asking for help from the knowledgeable ones on this 
list who have helped so many others with a computer problem.   I'm going 
to DSL from Dial-up this week. 

That's not a problem, that's a solution.  BUT, I can't find anybody who 
knows how I will be able to configure my Mozilla Thunderbird to start 
the new mail program?  _*QUESTION 1:*_   Anybody know how I can keep 
present e-mail folders (some with all the wisdom of this board in them) 
and addressbook, in other words all the stuff I presently have in my 
dial-up ISP mail program?   _*QUESTION 2: *_How do I set up e-mail on 
DSL????

I'd like to run both dial-up along with DSL for the rest of this month- 
to aid in notifying address changes etc-- in fact, that's _*QUESTION 
3:*_ How do you easily notify all those present addressees?   My wife's 
computer will be wirelessly added to the mix, too.  She has her own 
e-mail addy, in our dial-up account.     

I asked for help from DSL tech support, but they didn't know I only talk 
tractor.  Any replies from you guys please take into consideration that 
when I first used computers in the 1960's we used punch cards...and I 
have not gotten a great deal more savvy beyond that......    I mean, I 
am on my 4th computer, but it still is a mystery like Chinese Algebra.   
I know many of you have made the switch-- and I always say "there is no 
need to go without if the neighbors have some....."

Hope I didn't get too much information in here, but wanted to include 
that it is a 6 volt, front mount......

HELP! (please)
