5. Enter your e-mail address for the "Incoming User Name," and "Outgoing User Name." Click Next.
6. Enter a name for your e-mail account and click Next.
   
7. Verify your account information and click Finish.

   Please note that some Internet Service Provider (ISP) force you to use their outgoing server by blocking port 25. In those cases, please contact your ISP for further instructions.
10. Select "Use name and password" and enter your e-mail address. Thunderbird will ask you for your password the first time you try to send mail. Click OK.
