3. You can use whatever you want as the full name. Enter the email address of the account that you want to add and its password and then click Continue.
4. At this stage, Thunderbird will expand the window so that we can enter the details of incoming and outgoing email server.
5. You can fill the required details based on the initial email that you have received upon service activation which are:
 a. Protocol as IMAP
 b. Hostname (both incoming and outgoing section) as safari.administers.net
 c. Port is 143
 d. and Username (both incoming and outgoing section) is the email address of the account that you want to add.
