Thunderbird also acts as a news client and RSS reader. It can replace the functionality of Windows Outlook/Outlook Express – but how easy is it to use? With this guide, anyone will be able to use it.
The first version of Thunderbird was released on December 7, 2004 and with the latest stable version (2.0.0.16), Thunderbird has become a popular alternative to other email clients. Since its first release it has been downloaded more than 67 million times and is available in 37 different languages.

Click on the Next button.
Accept the End-User Software License Agreement [EULA] and click Next.
Choose the preferred setup type (Standard and Custom) and click on Next.
Click on the Finish button to launch Thunderbird.

As you can see in the picture above, there are a total four options. Email account, RSS News & Blogs, Gmail and Newsgroup account. I’ll show you how to configure your account using these four options. |
