Mozilla Thunderbird help please

i have an msn email adress (*****@msn.com), i have others but ill worry about those later.

How do i add it so i can read my email in Thunderbird, It asks for outgoing servers, IMAP or POP, and incoming servers and i dont know any of that stuff.

can someone explain to me how i can do this.

*Sorry if i am in the wrong place (again) i didnt get any help in OT so this is the closest i could find to PC software discussion*

Thanks

Did you use another email client to download your email to your computer prior to installing Thunderbird? This question I ask because a lot of free webmail services don't necessarily provide POP or IMAP access. Those same services may allow you such access if you upgrade to a higher level account (for $). For example, my Yahoo account is just the free one, and so the only way I can read my Yahoo mail is by logging into the webmail tool on their site. My real email address is from my ISP, and so I happily download my real email using Thunderbird.deadfirezero
