Setting up Thunderbird

1. Launch Thunderbird.
    
2. From the File menu, select New, and then choose Account. The Account Wizard will open up.
    
3. Select E-mail account. Click the Next button.
   
    
4. Enter your Name and e-mail address. Click the Next button.
   
    
5. Select the POP option, and then fill in the following fields:
   
     Incoming Server: This is the same as your website address. (E.G. www.mydomain.com)
   Outgoing Server: This should be set to your connectivity ISP's SMTP server
   
     Click the Next button.
   
    
6. Enter your e-mail username in the Incomming filed and leave the outgoing blank. Click the Next button.
   
    
7. Choose a name for this account. Click the Next button.
   
    
8. Review your settings in the next window, and then click the Finish button.
   

We now need to check that the outgoing (SMTP) settings are correct.

1. Go to the Tools menu and select Account Settings.
   
    
2. Choose Outgoing Server (SMTP) from the left hand list.
   
    
3. Ensure that the SMTP server details are set to your ISP's SMTP server and that the "Username and password" is NOT ticked.
