You need to configure them to your mail servers.

If it's an ISP email, it's usually pop.[ISP Here].com/.net/, w/e it is

The outgoing is usually SMTP.[ISP here].com/net/ w/e

I've actually been having the same issue. How do I set it up if it is not an ISP e-mail? For example, how would I set it up with my hotmail account?

Here is a step-by-step example on how to configure Thunderbird with your mail server:

Hotmail and Yahoo do not offer POP access (what is needed for Thunderbird) unless you pay for their premium accounts. Gmail does, with full instructions here:
