Try here:http://search.techrepublic.com.com/s...+and+microsoft
It appears you may have no spell checker installed

So when I down loaded Thun. You then have to get your own spell checker? Shouldnt this be already in the Thunderbird program?

1. Install the Dictionary fix; http://journal.mozdev.org/dictfix.html
(will need to restart Thunderbird)

2. Download (Save As) to desktop the dictionary file:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thu.../browse/type:3

3. Install the dictionary definition from within Thunderbird from the Tools > Install Dictionary menu option. You simply select the dictionary definition from your desktop and restart the client.

IF that doesn't work try here:
