Email Setup in Mozilla Thunderbird

Follow the Step-by-Step guide below to setup PhilOnline Email account in Mozilla Thunderbird.

  1. Download and run Thunderbird installer.

    If this is the first time you are setting it up, the installer will give you a chance to import your existing account settings from other e-mail client programs such as Outlook Express, Microsoft Outlook or other e-mail programs it finds on your PC. You can always "import" these settings later. We suggest you to select "Don't import anything" option and click "Next" to proceed.
