I am having a problem setting up a secondary email account on her computer using Thunderbird OR Outlook Express. She had AOL before and I thought the problem might be related to getting rid of the AOL badge and God knows what other AOL stuff on there that might be preventing me from setting up new email.
By secondary, I assume you mean a second account. You'll need the POP3 server's name (for incoming) and the SMTP server's name (for outgoing) provided by the email service. Once you have those and the account name and password it should work. What is the problem? Can't get email, or can't send email?
If the email client just won't give you the option of having a second account, uninstall it, then reinstall it. That might clear whatever is blocking.
