Is thunderbird compatible with Microsoft office home & student 2013
I currently use Thunderbird 17.0.8 as my email client. I have MS Office Starter pack as my applications, which I am planning to upgrade to MS Office 2013 Home & Student version. I would like to know if Thunderbird has any compatibility issues with MS Office 2013 Home & Student version ? In other words, after installing MS Office 2013 Home & Student version, will Thunderbird work as normal, or are there any possible glitches ?

They will work together. However... Microsoft likes to have programs install with default settings that prefer MS products. You might find that installing Office may try to set their default applications to work, instead of your selections.
Thanks Gild. Does that mean that after installation of MSO 2013, my default mailing application will be MS Outlook ? If so, that by itself should not prevent me from starting Thunderbird as and when I want to check my mail or send a mail - is that understanding correct ?
Your understand is correct
I would suggest you look a LibreOffice as an office suite instead of paying for Office, Unless you have a compelling reason to use MS Office that is. LibreOffice actually integrates just a little better with Thunderbird, offering your Thunderbird contacts for mail merges for instance than MS Office and best of all it is free.
