Gmail upgraded itself. Newer version extremely slow on my XP system. It

change email apps.

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?

It's the version I use. Make sure you downloaded it from the
official repos:

http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/thunderbi....0.0.24/win32/

and yes, it's very easy to avoid the mess webmail is and organize
everything in folders. Don't forget you have to login to your gmail
account, go to settings and allow POP and "insecure applications", as
if gmail wasn't a trojan itself !!!!
