Setting up Mozilla Thunderbird

Hello Everyone

Here are the instructions for setting up Mozilla Thunderbird to get email from your REW hosted email account.

If you haven't previously set up Thunderbird it will prompt you with the Account Wizard when you open it. If it doesn't, Go to the Tools menu -> Account Settings. Click the Add Account button.

Step 1

Select Email account and hit next.

Step 2

Enter your Name as you would like it to appear on outgoing mail.

Enter your email address.

Step 3

Enter your mail servers. These will be mail.yourdomain.com. Select POP3 for your incoming server.

If you have previously set up email accounts you will not be able to set your Outgoing server here. See Step 7 at the bottom for how to do this.

Step 4

Enter your user name. This is your full email address.

Step 5

Set a name for the account. It doesn't matter what this is it is just for organizing it in Thunderbird.

Next.

Click Finish.

Step 6

Now we need to change some other settings. In the Tools menu go to Account Settings.

Under Outgoing Server (SMTP) on the left you will get the settings for your outgoing server.

Edit your outgoing server or add another one if you already have one.

Be sure to change the port to 587.

Step 7

If you have more than one outgoing server you will need to tell the account which server to use.

Done!

You should now be able to send and receive email.
