What's my server?

I am setting up Thunderbird and have been asked to enter the names of in and out servers. Can anyone tell me where I'd find that information?

I have Linux version 2.6.12-1 Thunderbird 1.0.6

Thanks

Your ISP can give you that information or if you have windows look at the settings for email.

Yes, call your ISP. For example, my ISP is Bellsouth. Both in and out are "mail.bellsouth.net" (without quotes).
