You have to list more info than that.

For instance, the accounts are registered to which domain? Yahoo, Hotmail, ISP, GMail, School, AOL, AIM (etc) ?

All have different settings and how many are you wanting to setup?

Don't post your email address, as spammers cruise Forums in order to collect addresses.

I aint fussed, thats the main reason I want to get back to Thunderbird because ive got so much spam and Thunderbird does a great job of getting rid of the junk! Any ideas then

Go to this site for Screen Shots of the Email Account setup for Thunderbird:
http://opensourcearticles.com/articl...nglish/part_01

Also check out this Mozilla KB Article:
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Getting_st...th_Thunderbird

Even though this was created for an earlier version, your settings will be much the same.

The difference from the first link Ramona posted is, you will be choosing POP there instead of IMAP.

And also from her second link, these are the incoming/outgoing server setups for Thunderbird explained in 1&1 FAQ:
