This afternoon, I received a phone call suspect of someone (very strong Indian accent) claiming that he was of pots in charge who had allegedly approved support for Windows Microsoft firmware. He knew the details of our name and contact information. He was trying to tell me that we downloaded unintentionally viruses on your computer and tell us how to solve this problem. The alarm sounded at the beginning, but my main concern,'s done it how this organization to take our details. I am a very careful person when it comes to my personal life. Out of curiosity (as I was convinced that appellant was based abroad), I asked where he was calling from... He claimed to Adelaide. When asked what part of Sdelaide, he said, the southern. I asked an address and all he could give me was St Johns. He said the phone wasn't (08) 70041212. If it were Adeéaid the number would have started with 8 not a 7. I have no intention of ever letting anyone to have remote access to any computer, and I noticed since at least that someone else had known the call of the scam. So, is this able to report, and how do I protect our coordinates so that these stupid people (saying that he well :-)) not wasting my time again.

I have 2 boxes, trash, cans, I want just one of each
I find two sets of boxes on the screen: "Verizon" has three boxes - to, BIN, OUT. 'Local' has these three and the other 15 my personal folders. But I want just one set of files, with all incoming messages arriving in the same box. I can't remove the "Verizon" account as it is a all my settings. 'Local' cannot be deleted. Incoming e-mails arrived in the Verizon box in. What should do? I don't see any way to direct incoming messages to the Local area.
An Inbox overall is not the default for Thunderbird, but you can set it that way. (If you use pop.)
