Thunderbird is looking for a mail account on a mail server. Have you checked your firewall setting that appropriate mail ports are open?

Thanks for your poke, Matt... It pushed me a bit to search for more information. Apparently, it seems I installed at the time email-handling with a "postfix" configuration. So, the question was, how can I read messages (which came in long ago) properly with thunderbird?

Sorry for bothering and thank you!
