MailWasher and Thunderbird
Somehow it appears that my MailWasherFree [MWF] has been updated. Not by me, as far as I can remember, but....
I have used Thunderbird as my mail client for a long time.
Now, when I ask MWF to ProcessMail, it starts Outlook.
I see that there is a place in MWF Tools|Options to specify a different mail client. The only one they have preconfigured is Outlook. I've tried putting a link to Thunderbird into the Specify box, but haven't yet got it right. I get a listing of all the icons on my Desktop.
Can anyone suggest exactly what I should put in that box.
I'm using XP.
I don't want to roll back the system because of all the other things I've done recently.
Thank you very much,
seacue

Thank you Mr F, but Thunderbird IS my default email client.
I've turned off "Launch email application after processing" to avoid entering Outlook.
Mail Washer used to call up Thunderbird with no problem.

I have stumbled on the solution. I was trying far too hard by copying the full path to the Thunderbird executable.
If I wrote simply Thunderbird in the box "Specify a mail client command", Thunderbird starts in the correct Account.
Thank you all,
