I'm a computer drone shuffling along on Win 7 and IE 8. Sometimes if I'm on IE8 64 bit, I can't see or run some of the graphics, and shifting to IE8 32 bit cures that. Otherwise, no problems.

Put a second hard drive in her PC for personal files, and point "My Documents" at it.
That way, when it crashes again, you probably won't lose data.
Then get a hard drive in a separate USB box, and use Win 7 to backup everything into it as a good starting position for the next crash. You want a known clean working image for this PC.

Rodger, verizon fios in our area is changing the ports for sending via SMTP to try to reduce outgoing spam.
YOu might want to check with verizon to see if your smtp port setting are correct.

Install a second HD, and point "My Documents" at it:

Then make a clean backup to an external hard drive the instant you get everything working.
I tried changing port 25 to 576 (or whatever) and it didn't work. The thing =is, her e-mail worked until the crash with exactly the same settings as now.
Why use email client software at all?

Speaking for myself - because I want to.
Talking to HP about problem...Wants me see if this will post.
Spent a couple of weeks on this recently. I run XP, and installed all the latest updates. I had to do this manually. But, it's done.
A new tab was created on the "start" menu, "Set Program Access and Defaults."
After I changed some settings, Thunderbird began working again. And, of course, you know not to use port 25.
I'm totally with Casca here. Email clients are so 1990's. Besides client issues like you're having, if you switch internet providers, you lose your address and old emails.
I like yahoo mail myself. BTW: this post was written using Iceweasel in Crunchbang Linux. A rather nice combo.
Why I don't use on-line email:
I don't want my emails stored on someone else's server.
I have several email accounts and like a single client to view them, not several windows/tabs.
I'm still trying to get to the bottom of the problem.....Talked to HP to no avail....
"mmrnpoohhh".
Hey!....It's working again....
OK. now I know what is was (or seems to have been)
When I had XP I found SilverLight to be a problem...
I am now on Windows 7 and I mistakenly assumed that SilverCrap would be OK....It's not ok.
It is Crap.
It's also gone!
Thought I had the solution....Here's another try.
Called HP about the problem to no avail.....
Still can't post...I guess.
