I’ve already had someone switch to Thunderbird since The Windows Mail app stopped working.

Man, I’d love to convince the old people to switch over to Thunderbird instead of Outlook if they HAVE to use an email client, but it’s probably more trouble than it’s worth.
Also, I think I’m covering too much in these sessions at once. We make good progress but how much is sinking in? Stretching things out means more money from return sessions, but it’s also probably better for them as we can spend more time going over a single action

I tried adding an email address to Thunderbird for experience to help people and it imported my gmail information too easily. I quite liked the look and feel of it, much nicer than outlook, but the layout is different, it’s not a 1:1 with improvements

I think shorter sessions are better, with enough time to practice.
Otherwise you’re just rehashing the same thing each lesson.

I’d do a different thing each session, but you’d be surprised the things they have trouble with. Even just downloading images and moving them around takes a couple of goes. I feel like we go over it once or twice then I move onto the next thing they want to do. I think I should have one session where we get good at storing images, then do something else next session

Absolutely. Repetition let’s it sink in.
