Step 4 - Enter your full name, email address and password

  1. Enter in Your full name, Email Address and Password.

  3. Click Continue to complete the setup.

Your full name will be the name appearing, when people receive emails sent through Thunderbird.

Email Address is your email address created in your Control Panel. In this example we use mail@one-example.com where one-example.com should be your own domain name.

Password is the same as you use for Webmail.
