Setting up your email on Mozilla Thunderbird is super easy and will not take you more than 5 minutes. So let's do it:
-
If you are setting up Mozilla Thunderbird for the first time, skip the initial wizard
-
Click on Tools Menu
-
Click on Account Settings
-
Click on Account Actions on bottom right
-
Click on Add Mail Account
-
Enter your Name, Email address, Password and click on Continue
-
Choose the configuration (POP3 or IMAP). We suggest using POP3. It keeps a copy of your email on your computer so that you can view it even if you are offline
-
Click on the button Manual config if Thunderbird is not able to determine the settings
-
Select Incoming as POP3 and enter Server hostname as pop.yourdomain.com (If you want to use IMAP settings, select IMAP and enter Server hostname as ‘imap.yourdomain.com’)
Note:
If you have a Linux Hosting package, Incoming mail server will be mail.yourdomain.com
If you have a Windows Hosting package, Incoming mail server will be yourdomain.com
-
Select Outgoing as SMTP and enter Server hostname as smtp.yourdomain.com
Note:
If you have a Linux Hosting package, Outgoing mail server will be mail.yourdomain.com
If you have a Windows Hosting package, Outgoing mail server will be yourdomain.com
-
Set the Incoming SSL to None
-
Set the Outgoing SSL to STARTTLS
-
Set the Authentication to Normal password (For Incoming and Outgoing)
- Click on Create Account
-
Click on OK
That’s it. You are all set to use your email account on your Mozilla Thunderbird.
