1. Note: If this is your first time running Thunderbird, the Account Wizard should appear automatically. In that case, skip to step 2.

   Click on Create a new account on the main Thunderbird Local Folders screen.
   

2. Verify that Email account is selected.
   
   Click Next to continue.

3. Under Your Name, enter your name.

   Under Email Address, enter your E-Mail address.
   
   Click Next to continue.

4. Under Select the type of incoming mail server you are using, make sure POP is selected.

   Set both Incoming Server and Outgoing Server to mail.emr.net.
   

   Note: If your ISP is Cox, you will not be able to send mail using pop.emr. You will need to set your outgoing mail server to smtp.west.cox.net.

   The Use Global Inbox checkbox is optional. Leave it checked if this is your only E-Mail account, or if you have multiple accounts but want them to use the same mail folders.

   Click Next to continue.

5. Under Incoming User Name, enter your complete E-Mail address. Be sure to include the @ sign and the domain; don't just enter your account name here!
   
   Click Next to continue.

6. Review your settings and verify that you've entered them correctly.
   
   The Download messages now checkbox is optional.

   Click Finish to continue.

You're done! You should be able to send and receive mail now.
