Thunderbird Mail Tutorial and Installation How To
This tutorial describes how to use Thunderbird's Email Client with FavorHosting.com's POP3/SMTP e-mail accounts.
With a POP3 email account you only have one folder, the Inbox folder. When you open your mailbox, new mail is moved from the host server and saved on your computer. If you want to be able to see your old mail messages, you have to go back to the computer where you last opened your mail.
With this type of account you do not have to stay logged on to the Internet. You can log on when you want to receive and send new messages. Once your new messages have been downloaded to your computer you can log off to read them.
