Setting up and using profiles
A profile creates a personal area in Thunderbird that links the browser, mail, and address book to the user. Once Thunderbird has been setup, you can create additional profiles to enable one to read mail from other mail accounts. Profiles are also recommended when different users utilize a single computer. This provides privacy for the individual's e-mail, address book entries, and web bookmarks.
