You can configure Thunderbird™ to access the email messages for your POP address. While these screen shots are from v2.0.0 on Mac OS X, these settings are similar in other versions of Thunderbird.

Before You Start:

• Have your full email address and account password ready.
• Your incoming and outgoing server names are mail.yourdomain.com (where yourdomain.com is substitued with your domain name.) Your domain name is everything after the @ in your email address. (ie support@indesignfirm.com, indesignfirm.com is the domain name)
