Mail Configuration in Mozilla Thunderbird

To configure your email accounts in Thunderbird, you must have created them first. If you haven't done so yet, visit our guide to creating, managing, and configuring email accounts.

Once you have created your email account in the email section of your control panel, you will find the configuration details at the bottom of the page. Here is an example:

Using these details, open the Thunderbird application on your computer and follow the instructions below:

• If this is the first time you launch the application, the program will ask you to configure a new account (using the same dialog boxes found under Tools > Account Settings. If you cannot see the menu bar, click the icon with 3 horizontal lines at the top right and go to Options > Account Settings
  At the bottom left, click Account Actions > Add Mail Account

• When you are on the email creation page, enter the display name (sender), email address, and password you used when creating your account

• When you click Continue, the program will try to guess the correct settings

• If it cannot do so, or if the details do not match those in cPanel, repair the configuration as needed using the Re-check or Configure manually buttons to enter the details from our cPanel (the first screenshot in this guide).

• Once finished, the email account will be configured.

• If you have multiple email accounts configured, return to Account Settings

• On the left, select Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings

• Make sure the new email account is set as the default.
