This is a quick tutorial to help with setting up your Pipe Ten mailbox when using Mozilla Thunderbird 3.x. The instructions for different versions of Mozilla Thunderbird may vary slightly.
If you are using email, you should be using SSL
The secure ports for all email clients can be found below and should be used in combination with SSL:
Outgoing Mail Server (SMTPs): Port 465
Incoming Mail Server (POPs): Port 995 (SSL/TLS)
Incoming Mail Server (IMAPs): Port 143 (TLS or None)
Incoming/Outgoing Mail Servers: mail.pipeten.co.uk
A reminder on the difference between POP and IMAP and which may be more suitable for you can be found here.
Steps to take:
- Start up your install of Thunderbird.
- Within Thunderbird click ‘Tools’, then ‘Account Settings…’. This will open up the Account Settings in a new window.
- Inside the new Account Settings window click ‘Account Actions’, then ‘Add Mail Account’.
- You can now start to enter you mailbox details:
-
- Your name: Your display name e.g. Joe Bloggs
- Email address: joebloggs@pipeten.co.uk
