Hi, My son has shut down all my windows. How do I get back into Thunderbird? I just can't get back in to get to my emails! Apologies, I am a new user. Many thanks.

There should be a desktop icon/shortcut for Mozilla Thunderbird. Simply double-click it. If there is none, use the search box on the taskbar and type Thunderbird then launch it from there.

Thank you Stan. The icon had disappeared and is now back. Much appreciated.
