[SOLVED] Thunderbird Email Setup

Hi, new to forum, am loving Zorin! I'm having trouble setting up Thunderbird email. I have an Outlook.com account that I want to use with it. I keep getting my username or password rejected by the setup wizard. At this point, I'm confused about which username and password they mean. My ones for outlook, or for Zorin?

Here's what happens: I put in my email outlook address and password. The wizard then finds the account, and asks me if I want Imap or Pop. Then when I click to continue, I get the rejection that the username or password is wrong. What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

take a look here:

The above is for MS but should work no problem with the Linux version of Thunderbird!. :D

Thank you, setting it up manually worked for some reason!

By the way, your name isn't Dan, is it?
