how do I add a second email address in mozilla thunderbird email

Thunderbird Troubleshooting

Win 10 user and very frustrated with Mozilla Tbird. Have tried many help screens to add a second email address to Mozilla Thunderbird but all are rejected. Used your tutorials, you-tube guidance, etc and nothing works. What do I need to do to register a second email for other personal business? Should I register with Google first?

Thunderbird is a mail client, so it can only get mail from mail accounts that already exist.

For instance if you are trying to add LouBakerTheFirst@gmail.com, first you need to create that account with google.

Otherwise, it is as simple as selecting new account from the application menu.
