I tried doing everything listed in the forums on this topic, none of them worked for my problem. I've been using Thunderbird three months for the first time.

I click on "view", then "toolbars". Listed are: Mail Toolbar, Menu Bar, Status Bar, Quick Filter Bar. All of these are checked marked. Below them is "Customize". When I click on it and view the items, There is NO icon for "SEND". I also do not see a "Composition" toolbar listed anywhere. I can type the e-mail, but I have no way to send it.

Thank you for your help...............................VINNY

You are using the wrong Menu Bar.

In a new Write message window: View > Toolbars > select: Menu Bar, Composition Toolbar, Formatting Bar, status bar.

The 'Send' if online mode or 'Send Later' in offline mode is located on the 'Composition Toolbar'.

or on Menu Bar 'File' > 'Send Now' and 'Send Later'

If the 'Send' button is missing you can add it to the 'Composition Toolbar'. 'View' > 'Toolbars' > 'Customise' Drag the Send icon onto the toolbar.

If that does not work, click on 'REstore default set' button in 'customise' window.

You'll need to do this in a compose window, not in the main Thunderbird window.
