Adding an account
You should have already set up one mail account when you first set up Mozilla Thunderbird. Adding more is a simple process. First, you should make sure that you know the address of your POP3 or IMAP server, and the e-mail address as well. If you are setting up a newsgroup account, be sure to know your news server too. Here are the steps to adding an account:
- Open the Tools menu, then select Account Settings
- Click Add Account...
- Follow the wizard that appears
Removing an account

- Open the Tools menu, then select Account Settings
- Click Set As Default
