Email Client Configuration

As an example we can proceed with account configuration in Mozilla Thunderbird. In most cases Thunderbird will find out matching configuration for the Email account we want to configure.  But it the configuration is not listed in Thunderbird’s database, we need to configure the account manually.

Step 1:

Download and install Thunderbird from https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird

Step 2:

Open Thunderbird and choose option “Skip this and use my existing email”.

Step 4:

Now Thunderbird tries to fetch Emails settings for the account from their database. From there click on “Manual Config” option. Here we need to specify the following configuration.

1: Incoming mail server and port.

Example: Incoming mail server (IMAP/POP): mail.yourdomain.com

Port: 143 for IMAP and 110 for POP

2: Outgoing mail server and port.

Example: Outgoing mail server(SMTP): mail.yourdomain.com

Port 25, 26 or 587

3: Security settings.

Example: STARTTLS or SSL/TLS
