How can I set up plusnet email on thunderbird ?

I recently bought a laptop, which has Windows 7 on it so I cannot use Outlook Express anymore as I did on my computer ( Windows XP) . I have tried to link to Thunderbird but , despite following the instructions on the Plusnet help page, it will not recognise  my Plusnet email address.  Any suggestions ?
Also if I access my emails from my laptop will they still appear on my desk top computer which has Outlook Express. I would like to be able to see and store them on both if that is possible.

I've had similar issues.  I followed precisely the instructions on the Plusnet site but Thunderbird could not detect my mail settings.
I then turned off my antivirus software (Avast) and ran the whole process again.  Success.  My antivirus software was the problem.
Hopefully now when I switch it back on it will still work.
