Setup Email In Thunderbird

There are a variety of reasons why someone might choose to use Thunderbird instead of alternative email clients, and in this guide we will tell you how to get it setup.

First, you can download Thunderbird here. It's completely free.

​When you first start it up it asks if you want a new email. You don't, just click "Skip this and use my existing email".

​Next, enter your name, full email address, and password. Click "Next".

​It will try to figure out the server settings but just click "manual config".

​Please note the settings:

Note: Incoming Port is 993. Outgoing Port is 465. Both set themselves when you selected "SSL/TLS" under "SSL".

As always, your username is your full email address.
