How to Set Up Thunderbird for Windows to Send and Receive Email

1. You will need your email server settings to set up your email program.
2. Open Thunderbird.


3. From the Account Wizard menu, choose Email account as the type of account you would like to set up, and click Next.


4. In the Your Name field, type your name.


5. In the Email Address field, type our full email address (e.g., johndoe@yourdomain.com).
6. Click the Next button.
7. Select POP.


8. In the Incoming Server field, type your Incoming mail server (POP) (e.g., mail.yourdomain.com).
9. In the Outgoing Server field, type your ISP's Outgoing mail server (e.g., mail.your-isp.com).
Note: You can use mail.yourdomain.com as your outgoing mail server, but it is highly recommended that you use your ISP's outgoing mail server to send messages. Not only will it transmit the messages to the server faster, but if you use mail.yourdomain.com for outgoing messages, you will be charged for bandwidth usage.
