Setting up ThunderBird

1. Start up ThunderBird, then go to Tools > Accounts Settings
2. Click Add Account, and a Wizard should popup.
3. Select Email account and click Next.
4. Type in your name or alias, then enter your email (Your Xtreme-source Email) and click next
5. Make sure the incoming server is selected on POP, type in for Incoming Server "xtreme-source.com" or "mail.xtreme-source.com" then click Next.
6. Enter your Xtreme-source email, since thats your Incoming username, then click Next.
7. Account name should be fine, unless you want to change it. (Will only show to organized your inbox), Click Next.
8. Check everything and make sure its correct. Click Finish.

You have setted it up the POP3 email, not lets test it.

On ThunderBird, click Get Mail (Top Left Corner). It will popup for password, type in your password and select to remember password if you want.

If all goes good it will process and no error should popup. You can request someone to email you on that email to confirm that it does get email.

Hello kambodianboi

Is firefox the same as thunderbird, or should i say is firefox part of the thunderbird family, and does this mean that if i follow the tut for thunderbird, i can apply it to firefox, as i do not have thunderbird??? i eagerly await your reply kam :-D
btw i have sent an email to tech to receive a Xtremesource.com email account :-D

more like they are both part of the Mozilla family.

ThunderBird is related to Firefox, but they are not combined, like photoshop and imageready, they are two seperate software, with their own purpose to humiliate microsoft.

You should get thunderbird, its alot better than outlook, it has orangized features and well, less time consuming.

I can setup a xtreme-source email for you Silver Sony. It would be like SilverSony@xtreme-source.com, I will PM you with your temporary password and instructions on changing it.

Thunderbird is not a browser, its a plain email application just like outlook express.

Hello kambodianboi

Right i had wondered? thanks for info

Just my 2 cents....

Thunderbird is awesome!! IMO, it makes Outlook seem obsolete.

Hello Jamaal10

To be truthful i dont like either Microsoft outlook/outlook express, i use tiscali, for all my emails, composing and receiving, it is easier for me, and that is the whole idea, but if thunderbird is better, then in my estimation it is worth a bash :-D btw is that Burnout in the top left ?
