Add your Webmail account to Mozilla Thunderbird so you can manage your mail from the desktop app. This guide uses IMAP, which keeps your mail in sync across all your devices.

Before you begin: The server names and ports below are an example — always use the values shown in your own account, under Settings > Mail app setup > Other mail apps. We recommend IMAP over POP so your mail stays in sync.

Step 1 — Find your server settings

Go to Settings > Mail app setup in Webmail and click Other mail apps. Note the server details (blue): the Server, Port and Encryption values under Incoming mail (IMAP) and Outgoing mail (SMTP) — the secure ports are 993 for incoming and 465 for outgoing. Your password is the same one you use to sign in to Webmail.

Step 2 — Review the settings to enter

Review the values you noted in Step 1 — every email app asks for the same ones:

• Account type: IMAP
• Username: your full Webmail email address
• Password: the password you use to sign in to Webmail
• Incoming server: the host name from Step 1, port 993, security SSL/TLS
• Outgoing server: the host name from Step 1, port 465, security SSL/TLS, using the same username and password

Tip: If your app tries to find the settings automatically and fails, choose its manual or advanced setup and enter these values yourself.

Step 3 — Add the account in Thunderbird

Open the Thunderbird menu (☰) and choose New Account > Email, then enter your name, email address and password. If Thunderbird can't find your settings, choose to configure the account manually: enter the values from Step 2, choose Normal password authentication, then test the settings and finish.

Tip: If the test fails, recheck the host name and that the connection security is SSL/TLS for both servers.
