When you start Thunderbird for the first time, you will be presented

Tools.
Press Next at this screen.
Ensure that Email account is selected.
When you are finished press the Next

From this screen we will configure Thunderbird with your identity.

Press the Next
button when you are done.
Set the server type to IMAP, and both your incoming and outgoing servers
to mail.cct.lsu.edu. Press the Next
button when you are done.
Set Incoming User Name to
your email account name omitting
@cct.lsu.edu.
When you are finished press
the Next button.
The only purpose of this page is to set a name by
which you will identify the e-mail account you have just setup.
When you are finished press
the Next button.
Verify that the settings are correct and press the Finish
button to complete the wizard.
You now need to modify the security settings since there was no way of doing
that in the initialization wizard.
Choose Account Settings under the Edit dropdown menu at the top
of the window.
Click Server Settings on the left side of the current window.
On the right side of the screen check the box for Use secure connection (SSL)
. Now click on Outgoing Server (SMTP).
On this page be sure that Use name and password is checked and that the
user name specified is the same as your e-mail user name, without
@cct.lsu.edu. Also be sure that SSL is selected under
Use secure connection:. When you are done, press OK.
Now, exit Thunderbird, and restart it.
From the main screen you may check your e-mail by clicking on the
Get Mail button to synchronize Thunderbird with the mail server,
and then by selecting INBOX under the name by which you chose
to identify your mail account in the mail folder selector.
