    Default Some Tech help please

    I'm pulling what's left of my hair out trying to solve a problem. I have a Smartphone that activates Microsoft Activesync when I plug it into a USB port. However, Activesync only tries to sync with Outlook (which I don't use), and not Thunderbird (which I do use). Does anyone know how to make Activesync work with Thunderbird? All help gratefully received.

    I use Thunderbird but not a smartphone.
    I did a quick search and found this:

    "Thunderbird doesn't support ActiveSync"

    there is more explanation at that link.

    also found this

    Finchsync was rubbish, Birdiesync didn't work. I probably need a new phone. Thanks for the help, esteemed users of Moz-solo

    I used to use Thunderbird, but it wouldn't work with my ISP email, though it worked fine with all webmail. Now I have gotten used to Outlook, and I can't remember why I wanted to use Thunderbird. Anyone know why Thunderbird is preferred? I only use webmail now so I could switch, but I just can't remember the difference. Better search? easier to sort?
