Ok well, I should read how to configure Thunderbird then, but I am using KDE (though it doesn't matter for Thunderbird, I guess...)
Thanks. Yes it matters not for Thunderbird that you are using KDE :-) .
Configuring TB is simple, but you will need to know the name(s) of the server(s) your ISP uses for the incoming and outgoing mail; you should get this from your ISP's site. All of which you would have to do if you used KMail (or Evolution or some other mailer) ...
All I had todo with thunderbird is give it my e-mail address and the password. It did everything else. I didn't need to know anything about my ISP. L x Interesting.... You didn't have to configure the Server Settings for incoming/outgoing mail? Thunderbird contains a feature to ask a central database and a server @mozilla to figure out your server settings based on email address.

Now this *is* interesting. I haven't installed TB from scratch now for some some 5 or 6 years (whatever) because all I do is copy to a new installation of a distro the /home/.thunderbird directory. The only change I made to its contents is that I changed ISPs 3 years ago and so had to alter the Server Settings. Thank you for letting me know about this as I think there is one person who is about to ask me to help with installing oS and also TB.
