In this tutorial you will learn how to setup Mozilla Thunderbird as an email client on your Mac OSX.

What you will Need:

A valid email account, if you haven't created an email account yet please log into your Control Panel and set up an email account.
An email client. This tutorial uses Mozilla Thunderbird, which is a free opensource email client.

Thunderbird is a standalone version of the Mozilla Mail client. It offers sophisticated mail management features without the associated Web browser.
