To set up Mozilla Thunderbird:

1. Open Mozilla Thunderbird.
2. Go to Tools > Account Settings
3. Click Add Account. The Account Wizard will open.
4. Leave the Email account option selected, and click Next >.
5. Enter your name as you want it to appear in any messages you send.

   For example, your.name@wrhs67.com. Click Next >.

7. Select the protocol of your incoming mail server.

   Although Plesk supports both POP3 and IMAP protocols, we recommend that you select IMAP because this leaves your e-mail on the mail server so that it can later be accessed from other locations and by other methods, for example, browser based Webmail.

8. Specify the mail domain name as the incoming and outgoing mail server (for example: mail.wrhs67.com), and click Next >.
9. In the Incoming User Name box, specify your full e-mail address (for example, your.name@wrhs67.com), and click Next >.
