Jaffa Cake, as I mentioned before, I tried to install or reinstall Thunderbird by clicking on the dmg file. I have no clue whether this signals a problem, and that is why I cannot open the originally installed and configured Thunderbird. I searched my computer and, for example, it says firefox.app but there is no. I just know that the icon was accesible for a few days and now it has disappeared. You don't have to copy or drag and drop anything. In Windows, you just double click on an executable file and it will download to the appropriate folder. I'm afraid I don't recall if I did copy the dmg file into the Applications folder. Your prompt assistance is much appreciated. If you have any suggestions as to which book to buy to help me make the switch and begin to understand and troubleshoot these kind of problems, please let me know. I also want to find the Thunderbird icon and set it permanently on the Dock. I don't want to start all over and set it up again with all my email accounts. It seemed to me that if I searched for icons in my computer, I may be able to determine if the Thunderbird icon is still in there or not and then go from there. I tried to find out what the file extension for an icon is in a mac, but couldn't find pertinent information. Oddly enough, now I have two Thunderbird folders but still no icon. Unfortuntely, when I clicked on the Thunderbird dmg file, it didn't recognize that it was already set up and installed in the computer, so I canceled the installation. Please also advise how I can permanently attach an icon to the Dock.

I thought that when it opened it would recognize that I already have Thunderbird set up in this computer and would give me the chance to recover the icon, which I want to permanently show in the Dock.

Now I cannot open the application, so after searching for answers in the web, and not finding any, I decided to click on the Thunderbird dmg file. I had already been using Thunderbird for a few days and have setup all my email accounts. I somehow lost the Thunderbird icon, so I'm unable to open the applicaton. That said, I've run into several problems, but will only address in this thread the icon troubles I'm presently having.

The very 'intuitive' way of working of macs is counterintuitive to me as a lifelong pc user. I'm finally getting to the point of exasperation after about two weeks of using an iMac.
