OT: Thunderbird and gmail

[Fairlight]

One for the web-based version of GMail...  Use private browsing tabs, which
should keep the sessioning separate.

Thunderbird...not sure.  Depends how it's detecting it, really.  They
should be handled entirely separately, so I'm starting to wonder if they're
(stupidly) doing it by IP#...
