Click on the "Add New E-mail Account" radio button and click Next.
Now click on the "POP3" radio button and click Next.
Now in the "Your Name" box, type the name you want people to see when they recieve e-mails from you.
In the E-mail address box, enter the email address you set up previously.
Set both the incoming and outgoing mail servers to your domain name.
Enter your username and password you set for the mailbox in the Logon Information section. Make sure the Remember Password box is ticked.
Now click on More Settings, then click on the Outgoing Server tab.

To set up Mozilla Thunderbird:
- Open Mozilla Thunderbird.
- Go to Tools > Account Settings…
- Click Add Account. The Account Wizard will open.
- Leave the Email account option selected, and click Next >.
