First off there is no such thing as a Thunderbird email account. Email providers issue email accounts and Thunderbird is email client software and not a provider.

You can look at the server settings in Thunderbird to see the settings it is using or you could get a list from your provider.

In Thunderbird go to the menu bar and select Tools-Account Settings-Server Settings to see the Inbound settings and Tools-Server Settings-Outbging Server(SMTP) for Outbound settings.

No menu bar with Tools showing? Press the alt key.
