9.  Enter "smtpout.secureserver.net" for the "Server Name" and change the "Port" setting to 80.

NOTE: "smtpout.secureserver.net" is an SMTP relay server. In order to use this server to send e-mails, you must first activate SMTP relay on your e-mail account. Log on to your Manage Email Accounts page to set up SMTP relay. If you do not have SMTP relay set up and your Internet Service Provider (ISP) allows it, you can use the outgoing mail server for your Internet Service Provider. Contact your Internet Service Provider to get this setting.

10.  Select "Use name and password" and enter your e-mail address.  Thunderbird will ask you for your password the first time you try to send mail.
