Seems lately when I want to drag the Thunderbird email screen around I have to place the mouse arrow so the point is at the very top edge of the screen. It is a real pain when the screen is at the top of the page as the mouse arrow causes the windows top bar to drop down before the arrow catches the drag line of the screen. Anyway to increase the size of the drag area on the screen? I called Thunderbird tech but I got some hard to understand Bangladeshi who want access to my comp to fix it. I said no thank you. Any one here have any ideas?

windows top bar?

what version of windows are you using?

that being said:

XP is OS. If you bring cursor to the top of the screen the start bar along with tabs of any proggies you have running. With thunderbird it defaults to the top of the screen when I activate it . The blue bar with the tools and tabs is on the top. The problem is the only place I can drag the email screen is the very top edge and sometimes when I try to place the mouse arrow on that edge it triggers the XP start bar to drop down, effectively preventing me from dragging the email screen down. Even in general terms haveing to put the cursor in the exact right spot to drag the email screen is a pain. flip, it does not look like your link address's the problem.

any spot to the right of the tabs in thunderbird can be used to drag the window. The area under the minimize/maximize/close button also works.

beyond that, you should move the start bar back to the bottom of the screen, or disable start bar auto-hiding.

... or deselect "Keep taskbar on top of other windows," which is what I do because it seems like the only solution when you have the taskbar on top. I don't really use the taskbar except for the clock anyway. I launch all my programs with the super-key and/or run, then alt+tab to select open programs. I use Thunderbird on XP and don't have that problem, so I am surprised to hear this.

Alternatively, with the window selected you can press alt+space then press "M" for move, using the arrow keys to nudge it into place.

actually what helped was closing the 20 some tabs the thunderbird decides to automatically start when reading a mail. Much better now.
