Can anyone please tell me how to set an account up. I can't remember the settings for incoming mail etc. I'm using NTL Broadband.
Thanks

Fran

Do you mean you want a Thunderbird account or what settings are you talking about?

Thanks Fran. I've just got new pc , didn't manage to save my setting, downloaded Thunderbird to new pc, but need to set up an account, can't remember settings.
Thanks again

Fran

Tools/account settings, you'll need the incoming server eg. pop.ntl.com or pop.mail.ntl.com or whatever - you should have had the info from ntl when you had your last account?

Applies to outlook express, how ever they will be the same settings for thunderbird!

I'm struggling to get this to work. I've set the servers as per ntl instructions;
pop.ntlworld.com
smtp.ntlworld.com
set as default but its not working. Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Hi what isnt exactly working are you getting a dialogue box saying
cannot connect to server? or something else.

Pop port 110
smtp port 25

Double check these maybe

For anybody else transferring to a new PC, there's a good little free backup program called MozBackup . You can backup your Firefox bookmarks and your Thunderbird email/newsgroup settings and all your data to files, stick them onto a CD or pendrive, then restore them onto a new machine so you carry on from where you left off.

Thanks, no error message , just connecting to ntlworld.com, then nothing happens. I've checked the server setting again and theyre right. Strange one.
Thanks to all
