How do I read email with Thunderbird (POP3)?

Mozilla Thunderbird can be downloaded for free at http://www.getthunderbird.com.

Here is how you configure a POP3 account in Mozilla Thunderbird against domainnameshop.com:

Select File | New | Mail Account... from the menu.
Enter your name, email address, password, and click on "Continue".
Wait until Thunderbird has finished searching, and edit the settings manually:
- Enter the username of your email account.
- Enter pop.domeneshop.no as incoming server.
- Select POP as connection type.
- Click on "Manual Setup...".
Select "Outgoing Server (SMTP)" from the left side panel.

Description is optional.
Enter smtp.domeneshop.no as server name.
Change port to 587.
Select STARTTLS as connection security.
Select "Normal password" as authentication method, and enter the username of your email account.

The examples below illustrate how you would setup a POP3-account for John Smith, with the email address john@example.com, and username example1.

Click on "Manual Setup...".

Note! Many ISPs block port 25. Use port 587 instead!

Select STARTTLS or SSL/TLS for a secure, encrypted connection to the SMTP-server.
