I have a personal domain name that I created through godaddy.com and I use outlook.com for email. I am attempting to integrate my email in Thunderbird but I keep getting a "failed to connect to server" when trying to retrieve email. Any suggestions?

Thank you!

If you are using server except GoDaddy, you have to register your domain name with them. Usually there is a control panel for users where you can do that. Then it may take up to two days before the registration propagates thru the DNS systems.
