The following is a simple tutorial on how to setup a new mail account in thunderbird. The screen shots taken are using 1.5.0.5 but are applicable to most versions of thunderbird.
Beginning
First of all you need to open the mail program and then select the "File" menu. From this menu select "New", then the "Account" option. This allows you to setup a new mail account.
Adding a new mail account
This menu gives you access to add a new email account. You need to select the "E-mail account" option, then click Next.
Select your name
Here you need to enter your name, as you would like it to appear when you send mail, and your email address, this should be the email address you are sending from.
Server information
Here you need to select the type of account you wish to create. With POP3, it will download all of the mail to your computer. With IMAP, it will leave the mail on the server.
There are also two server addresses you must complete, one for incoming mail and one for outgoing mail.
On standard 34SP.com accounts we only provide the incoming server. In the incoming mail server field, you need to enter: mail.yoursitename, so if your address is me.com you want to use mail.me.com
For the outgoing mail server (SMTP) you should consult your ISP (the company who provides your Internet connection). Most ISP's provide an SMTP server of the form: smtp.ispname or mail.ispname If they cannot provide you with this, we can offer SMTP as an upgrade.
User names
If you have created your own mail account via the siteadmin interface you should set the incoming username to the email address you chose. Otherwise you should use the email address provided in your welcome email.
If you are using your ISP's outgoing server (SMTP), then you should refer to them to find the correct outgoing username. If you are using our SMTP server, then you should refer to your SMTP welcome mail, which is sent to your when the SMTP account is setup.
Click Next
All done
Enter a name you would like thunderbird to use to refer to this account
Click Next, then confirm the details are correct, and click Next again.
