---++ Introduction

Generally there are two ways of checking emails. POP3 downloads your emails from the email server of the university to your computer. IMAP leaves the emails on the server and you can only check them locally. If you only use one PC to check your emails, the best option is to choose POP3. If you have several computers to check your emails, choose IMAP. Please note that with IMAP an Internet connection is always necessary when you want to check your emails.

---++ Configuration of Thunderbird 6.0

__<u>Step 1</u> :__ Start Thunderbird and set up a new email account. This is done by choosing the item *account settings* in the menu *Tools* (see image 1).

__<u>Step 4</u> :__ 
   <br>
   If you want to use *POP3 look at image 5* and fill in the form. For *IMAP account settings look at image 6*.
   <br>
   *Email address* should be the same you entered in the step before. The *username* at the bottom of the window must be your __user id__.
   <br>
   Don't forget to set up the *outgoing mail server*, which is in both cases the same.
   <br><br>
__<u>Step 5</u> :__ Click *create account*. That's it. 
   <br><br><br>
   * *POP3:* <br />
