[SBE] Email issue

[Gibson Prichard]

I think you should be able to configure Thunderbird using their Manual
Account Setup - see
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/manual-account-configuration. I use
Mozilla and have an account like the one you describe that is essentially
an alias to my "real" POP/IMAP address.
