Software > How do I configure Mozilla Thunderbird?

Before you can configure your mailbox, you need to create it via the Mailmanager.

1. Start Mozilla Thunderbird from your start menu (Windows / Linux), Dock (Mac OS X) or any other shortcut on your desktop or applications folder.

2. Go to Extra / Tools -> Account settings

3. If there are other mail accounts configured, you will see an overview of them. Click on 'Add account'.

4. Select 'E-mail account'.

5. Enter your name. It will be displayed as the sender of the email.

6. Fill in the incoming and outgoing mail servers. The server type is either POP3 or IMAP.

7. The 'Incoming username' if your full email address you wish to add. You don't need to fill in the 'Outgoing username'.

8. You can choose the 'Account name' as you like. This can be, for example, your email address. It is used merely as an internal label of the account.

9. You now have successfully configured the account, and get an overview of all settings.

10. As you may have notices, the program didn't ask you for a password of the mail account. When Thunderbird establishes the first outgoing connection to the PriorWeb mail server, it will prompt you for your password.
