How to manage multiple emails with Thunderbird

What is Thunderbird: Thunderbird is a cross-platform desktop email client developed by Mozilla foundation, same company that made the Firefox browser. Thunderbird let’s you handle your email in style, giving you the opportunity of managing one or multiple email accounts at a go.  Thunderbird is also a news reader or simply an RSS reader. So with Thunderbird you can subscribe to all your favourite RSS feeds and read them on the client.

Managing multiple emails is not an easy task at all, but today I am writing this tutorial to teach you how you can manage all your email accounts from a single desktop email client called Thunderbird. I will also be teaching you how to configure it. Using Thunderbird comes with the advantage of accessing all your emails anytime, and having access to your previous emails even when you do not have an internet connection.

Most of us have multiple email accounts, I know some people that have more than 5-20 email accounts, checking this emails everyday may be taskful, and you won’t want to miss a mail just because you couldn’t check a certain mailbox. Imagine you have email accounts with Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail and even Webmails etc.
