At the top of every forums index page, there is a button that says "NEW TOPIC*" in red letters. Click on it.

I have the same problem on trying to set up my new computer except I'm using AVAST. I can send but not receive emails.
Thunderbird 11.0.1
Windows 7
OpenPGP
Lightning - all this identical on old PC where it works fine.
