Should there be questions that are not answered here, a link to the instructions for Thunderbird is here.

Password must be the value assigned to the e-mail address you are configuring.

  • Server must be the mail server name associated with the server on which your account is hosted. Please refer to this page to determine which server name to use here.

  • Port number for a secure POP account is 995.

  • The SSL dropdown contains options for "SSL/TLS" and "STARTTLS", either of which may be used. Other options appear, but these are the best choices.

  • The Authentication dropdown contains options for "Normal Password", "Encrypted Password", and others. "Encrypted" should be used.
