Question about eMail Sending whith Thunderbird

[Tommi]

Hello all together out there,

i have a question about sending email whith other systems as Outlook.
I have been using Thunderbird for my eMails since years. Unfortunatly PM doesn t support Thunderbird as eMail Client, because Thunderbird have no MAPI Client.
Wouldn t it be nice to have a chance for the users like me to have the chance to open the adressbook from Thunderbird (button beneeth the eMail row in email window inside PM)?
My workflow is going like this now.

I open the application "send via email"
in the backround Thunderbird is going to open

open the Thunderbird Adressbook

copy the eMailadress into the eMail window in PM

sending the eMail.

Is there a easier way to send my Mail faster, or is there a chance (may be) to create a list of eMailadresses into PM by pressing the button in the eMail application from PM?

Thank you for the answers in advance.
BTW. PM is a great tool for prof. Photgraphers! Thank you PM Team!!

I use Thunderbird and when I send an email via PM is just put a default email address in the "To:" field, then I press "OK", and then the message opens up in Thunderbird.  At that point I select the real email address I want to send the message to.

Thank you Deven for your info!

the "default eMailadress" you mentioned, is this a real or a fantasyadress that you only use to open Thunderbird. I never send my eMail in that way you do, but i will try it. The problem i see: i create a separate Mail per picture (faster and more secure sending when  i do upload mails or ftp via broadband or GPRS), so i have to put the emailadress to every seperate mail. Right??
Do you send yor pictures in the same way?
Perhaps there is a other solution for this.
The best way would be: Support from PM and Thunderbird.
I will not use Microsoft Produkts for my emails again.

The default email address can be real or fake since you are going to replace it once you get back to TB.  Just give it a try.  I think it will be clear when you actually do it.

Thanks Deven
Now i have made the first tests whith email sending in your way.
For Sending a eMail whith more than one Picture it is a good solution.

Many greetings
