Thunderbird!

hi,finally switched to thunderbird, trying to set up my account ,can anyone tell me where i can find the name of my incoming and outgoing server thanks

 

The name of the incoming (POP or IMAP), and outgoing (SMTP) is provided by your ISP. you need to check their help page for it.

 

What were you using previously?

 

hi i was using outlook express now i want to use thunderbird.the internet connection im using is a joint network in an apt block so do i got to go to the managers of the complex to get my incoming/outgoing server sdress or is the info on my p c

 

Yes, if email is provided alongside the internet service. Who provides your internet? Who provides your email?

 

You might try the File/Import/internet Explorer tab in Firefox that will import most Options, Bookmarks, Passwords from Explorer for you so the set-up time is reduced. Hope that helps

 

thanks for help (mada milty/bc gray) not sure who the internet provider is gong to find manager and go from there thanks

 

If you already had Outlook Express configured.

Code:

Go to Tools > Accounts
Click the Mail tab
Highlight your account and click properties on the right
Click the servers tab.

 

watching this with interest, since I want to do the same thing

Actually to set up a new mail program, it is rather easy. If you do not have the information from your provider, and it is in the settings for the other mail program, you would just input.

Most ISPs have a help page with this information contained on it.

 

ok iv imputed the imcoming/outoing server info, only prob is i cant recieve/send mail now now a pop up window appears saying "please verify that your e mail address is correct in your mail preferences and to try again"

 

Make sure that the Pop & SMTP addresses are correct, and your email & password are correct. Again, do you know who your ISP is, that the apartment complex uses, so that we can be better to assist you?
