Your question is 'e mail' - only problem is that is not a question, so I've no idea what your problem is all about. Details on your 'question' is 'i would like to see my e mail', but that not exactly telling me much either. You need to state your problem/question and then provide information about the situation so that people can understand the situation. This is the sort of stuff you need to supply: * What OS are you using ? Windows , MAC, Linux ? * What version of Thunderbird are you using ? * Are you trying to set up a new mail account for an email address? * Are you talking about a mail account which you have been using in Thunderbird for a while? Offer additional info explaining your set up and what you see or don't see and suppliment with screendump images to help explain your situation. * What type of account do you use Imap or Pop ? * Do you see mail account and it's folders in the Folder Pane ? * Can you see emails previously downloaded ? * Are you getting an error message when trying to download, send etc ? * If yes, then please state the error - word for word verbatim - or upload an image of error message. What server are you connecting to etc ? - so post the following: * In Thunderbird * Help > Troubleshooting Information * Scroll down to 'Mail and News Accounts' section * Either copy all that section and paste it into this question OR upload an image showing the data. If you see folders and say you click on Inbox - do you see a list of emails ? If yes, and you select an email is it visiable in the Message Pane ? If no - is the Message Pane enabled ? if no or not sure check - View > Layout > select 'Message Pane'
