You have an email client called gmail? I always understood gmail's
default way of working was webmail, i. e. something you access using a
web browser.

I've got Thunderbird 2.0.0.24 which I use as a backup email app. I can't
find a way to create new folders to hold emails I wish to save. Tried
Googling this but can't get any help on this that works. Msybe I hsve an
old obsolete T-Bird?


I would say you have: I think the current version of Thunderbird is
around 60! (It isn't "Eudora OSE", is it? That was based on something
like Thunderbird 2. [No, not the thing from the TV series ...])

I'm not going to use Eudora after it stopped working and demanded it be
upgraded without offering and assistance.


FWIW, my blind friends use Eudora (6 and 7 I think), and it seems to
work fine on both Windows 7 and 10.

Any suggestions? Yet another email app?

TIA


I usually set up new people with Thunderbird - it's not bad as an email
(and news) client, and there are a good number of people around who can
help with it.


Or alternatively, perhaps the special OEx version mentioned before (which
works fine in Windows 7), or OE Classic. Given a choice of those 3
(including TB), I'd choose OE, but YMMV. :-)
