I next tried clicking on "Write," but the same thing happened. A window is visible on the bar, but it is shaded out and I can't open it.

Should I try reinstalling Thunderbird? Can I run two e-mail programs at the same time?? I need to be able to e-mail today!

Thanks,
Patricia

PS I just uninstalled Thunderbird and downloaded it and reinstalled and the problem continues! I don't know what to do...
