Goto Mail\Edit\Mail & News ---Settings. A basic installation will have
an account that you created and named, an account called Local
Folders--you can get rid of that after things settle, and an item called
Outgoing server (SMTP)

On the account you created, goto Server Settings. What is the Server
name. This is something you must get from your ISP and enter it. That
will be the same for all Mozilla accounts on that ISP account. It is
generally in the form of "mail.your_isp.com". Is yours mail.ucsd.edu?
From an edu it might be different.

User name is something agree upon with your ISP and will be different
for each mail account.

That is also the page where you tell Mozilla where each of you want your
mail files located--each mail folder--Inbox, Sent ---is a file.

When you open Mozilla all accounts will be listed. Open the account you
want, and either automatically or manually mail for that account will be
downloaded.

I am still waiting for someone to point out something useful that some
other mail program will do that Mozilla mail will not.
