Mozilla Thunderbird - Setting Up an Email Account

Before you can setup your email account in Mozilla Thunderbird or any local email client, you need to create it. If you have access to cPanel, you can view our knowledgebase article on how to create an email account through cPanel here:

Creating an Email Account

[1] Click the 'Tools' tab. [2] Click 'Account Settings...'. [3] Click the button. [4] Click 'Add Mail Account...'. [5] Specify your name in the 'Your name' text field. [6] Enter your full email address into the 'Email address' text field. [7] Enter your email address' password into the 'Password' text field. [8] Click the button. [9] Click the button. [10] Enter your full email address into the 'Username' text field.

*Note: when Thunderbird requests your email address, you must input your full email address. Do not input your cPanel username. A full email address is of the form:

[email protected]

where 'account' is the mailbox name you have setup and 'mydomain.com' is your domain name.
