Configuring Thunderbird

General

Tip

For domains using our DNS servers, Thunderbird autoconfiguration is usable. You just need to provide your username (email address) and password. The other settings are automatically generated.

Server	Service	Information
Incoming	IMAP	Hostname	imap-[account].alwaysdata.net
		Port	993
		Connection security	Will be automatically set up
		Authentication method	Normal password
		Username	Your email address - for example contact@example.org
		Password	The password of your email address
	POP3	Host	pop-[account].alwaysdata.net
		Port	995
		Connection security	Will be automatically set up
		Authentication method	Normal password
		Username	Your email address - for example contact@example.org

Outgoing	SMTP	Host	smtp-[account].alwaysdata.net
		Port	465
		Connection security	Will be automatically set up

[account] must be replaced by the name of your account and contact@example.org by your email address. They are defined in the Emails > Addresses menu of our administration interface.

Screenshots

In our example we consider the following information (to be replaced by your personal login information):

Account name: test
Mailbox: test@alwaysdata.net

Go to Settings > Configure an account: E-mail.

To change it once created, go to Accounts > See settings for this account or go to the Edit > Account settings menu bar:

For incoming mail, go to Server settings.
Thunderbird: incoming server settings
For outgoing mail, go to outgoing SMTP server.
