How the heck do you drag a picture in gmail?
For many years I used an old version of Thunderbird (3,x) for my gmail.
All of a sudden google decided my thunderbird was too old and not secure. Yet it worked fine and I could give a rats ass about security, especially when my emails are very6 boring for anyone who would attempt to read them, while most of the world posts their who life on Facebork and the whole world can read it. Anyhow, I was forced to upgrade Thunderbird to the latest ver that XP allows. For some reason, I can READ my email, but can not post from it on TB. I;ve entered my username and password till I turned green and it still wont work. So, I am forced to do my gmail on the web, and I hate the format they have. Anyhow, in TB if I wanted to upload a picture, I'd go to the folder where I have it and click on the filename. On web based gmail, I must DRAG the photo to the page. NOT BOTH at the same time. This is a laptop with a 13" screen. I'd need a giant monitor to load both at the same time....... |

With Thunderbird did you remember that the outgoing server settings are separate from the incoming ones? For some reason incoming servers appear under each account's set of options but outgoing servers are grouped together for all accounts at the bottom of the list. I didnt know thAt was separate. i found the outgoing place at the bottom, but what do i enter in there for Gmail? This is getting real frustrating. The old thunderbird ver 3.x was so much easier and user friendly. I am about ready to find some other email software. Google refuses to let me use the old version anymore or id just keep using that. I see no advantage to this new version, in fact it lacks some of the old stuff like compact messages. |
