Title: AOL and Thunderbird
Post by: hitanykey on February 19, 2011, 16:35

I use two email services. Idnet via Thunderbird and AOL freemail ( direct and not via Thunderbird). When I click on a "contact us "button  at a website it comes up with the idnet address and I cannot get it to use my aol address.  I have AOL set up as my default email sending service in Thunderbird. The only way I can then contact them is to cut and paste their address into compose in Aol mail. I am unable to make AOL my mail service in Control panel settings. Is there a way round this ?
I am on windows XP and use Firefox as my browser

Try clearing form and search history in Firefox.
