    I tried this and it works. It brings up firefox and a google page
    requesting my user id/password which I had to search for. All my
    Thunderbird mail goes through gmail via wildblue.net.

    However the page it brings up is "compose" I found no way to view
    received e-mail?

    Interesting,

    Bob
