1) Open Thunderbird. On the Tools menu, select “Account Settings”.

2) Click on “Add account” or press Alt+A.

3) Select “e-mail address” and press next.

4) Type in your name and the e-mail address.

5) In this dialog box, Select POP and enter the address for the incoming server. This is usually mail.domain.com (where domain stands for your domain name).

(Deselect the “Use Global Inbox” checkbox – it’s a royal pain if you’ve got multiple accounts).

7) Set the name to whatever you like.

8) Verify all the details and press finish.

10) Then back to the “Account Settings” dialog box.

11) Scroll down and select “Outgoing Server (SMTP)”

12) Click on “Add” if you haven’t already added any. Otherwise click on edit.

13) Set the server name to “mail.domain.com”.
