Mozilla Thunderbird Setup

Set up your email in Thunderbird on Windows, Mac, or Linux.

Open Thunderbird. If this is your first time, it will ask to set up an account automatically.

Go to Settings → Account Settings → Account Actions → Add Mail Account.

Or click the menu → New → Existing Mail Account.

Enter your name, full email address, and password.

Click Configure Manually (don't use auto-detect).

Thunderbird may auto-detect the correct settings. If it does, just click Done.

Set the incoming and outgoing server settings:

Make sure the username is set to your full email address for both incoming and outgoing.

Thunderbird will verify the settings and connect.

Your inbox will start loading immediately.

If port 465 is blocked by your network (some corporate or hotel Wi-Fi networks block it), use these alternative outgoing settings:

Alternative: Port 587 with STARTTLS security and PLAIN authentication. All other settings remain the same.

You're all set!

Send a test email to make sure everything is working.
