The following tutorial will walk you through adding a new email account to Thunderbird. Setup is pretty simple. You will need information from your ISP or website host such as your user name, the server name, and your password.

Open Thunderbird and Click Tools > Account Settings > Add Account.

In the part you can probably leave it as is. Depending on your host it's either your username (the part before @ in your email address) or your entire email address. You can generally ignore the outgoing user name part as you will use your default outgoing mail settings.

After setting up your mail account press "Get Mail" from your main Thunderbird screen and you will be prompted for the password on your newly created account. You can choose to save it or not.
