how to use an install.xpi configuration file to set up email data
Manual setup of my email account failed because Thunderbird searches for my domain name and it is not in its database. So my host provider gave me an auto-config file for Thunderbird for my email account, called install.xpi - But how do I use this file? I can't double-click on it in Windows to do anything. In Thunderbird program it wants to create a new account but I can't do anything else in it like file import.
How to use install.xpi file so it creates my email account with the proper setup variables? Thanks for your help.

Start Thunderbird, close the wizard, goto the Tools menu (alt+T) select add-ons
There's a tiny button to the left of the search window. Click this and select Install Add-on From File and Navigate to your xpi file, select it, and off you go.
