Configure Thunderbird
How to configured Mozilla Thunderbird for use with Mail Toaster.

Thunderbird has excellent support for connecting to modern mail servers. It supports POP3, IMAP, SMTP, SSL, TLS, and more. As such it is an email client that is easy to recommend.

Step 1. Gather Info
Gather your account information. You will need:


 * 1) Your name
 * 2) the hostname of your email server
 * 3) Your email address
 * 4) your password

Step 2. Configure Account

 * 1) Open Mozilla and choose Tools -> Account Settings.
 * 2) Click the Add Account button
 * 3) Choose Email Account as the account type
 * 4) Enter your name and email address.
 * 5) Select IMAP for your account type and set incoming server to the hostname of your email server. You can get this information from your ISP. It is usually in the form: mail.example.com.
 * 6) Set Incoming User Name to your email address.
 * 7) the default account name is fine.

At this point your account is created and it will work, but it is not taking advantage of any of the security features offered by Mail Toaster.
