Mozilla Thunderbird is an extremely powerful and versatile email client. More over it’s free, open source and without a doubt my favorite email client.
When you create a new e-mail account from cPanel, it provides automatic configuration for Microsoft Outlook 2000 but not for Mozilla Thunderbird.
So here’s how you set you your email account with Thunderbird.
1. Open Thunderbird. On the Tools menu, select “Account Settings”.
2. Click on “Add account” or press Alt+A.
3. Select “e-mail address” and press next.
4. Type in your name and the newly created e-mail address.
5. In this dialog box, Select POP and enter the address for the incoming server. This is usually mail.domain.com (where domain stands for your … umm.. domain name). So mine’s set to mail.shypy.com
Deselect the “Use Global Inbox” checkbox – it’s a royal pain if you’ve got multiple accounts.
Step 5
6. Time to set the incoming username. It is either your username (from username@domain.com) or username+domain.com
This setting is shown by cPanel just after you create the email account.
7. Set the name to whatever you like. I set it to “Domain’s mail”.
8. Verify all the details and go back and change any if required. Press finish and you’re almost done.
9. Click on “Server Settings” for the account and under security settings, select the radio button which says “TLS”.
10. Now you’re back to the “Account Settings” dialog box. Scroll down and select “Outgoing Server (SMTP)”
Click on “Add” if you haven’t already added any. Otherwise click on edit.
Set the server name to “mail.domain.com”.
Set the username to whatever username has been given to. Mine is username+domain.com
Do not forget to verify your port address with your hosting provider or server admin. The default setting is 25, but it may vary. Mine is 26.
And you’re done. So there it was, the step by step tutorial on setting up your email with Mozilla Thunderbird.
