If you want to download your inbox onto one single computer, access your messages only locally and you do not need to access your folders on the server, choose "POP3". If you want to access your folders on the server and messages from multiple computers, choose "IMAP". To change the default settings click Manual config. Click Create Account to use these settings. Mozilla Thunderbird defines default server settings automatically.

If you want your password to be remembered on later entries, tick "Remember password" check box. Write down your name, e-mail address and password to the boxes in the window and click Continue. Then click Account Actions, select Add Mail Account from the drop down list in order to open "Mail Account Setup" window (This window will automatically appear when you initially start Mozilla Thunderbird). Open "Account Settings" window by selecting Tools > Account Settings from the menu. You should configure the settings on the central e-mail server in order to read and send e-mail via Mozilla Thunderbird.
