How do I add my email to Thunderbird?

Below is a customised guide specifically for Thunderbird:

1. Open Thunderbird: Launch the Thunderbird application on your computer.
2. Add new account:
   • From the main menu, click on E-mail (under the heading ‘Accounts’).
   • Select Create account >E-mail.
3. Entering data:
   • Please enter your name, e-mail address and password.
   • Optionally enable the ‘Remember password’ option if you wish.
   • Click Continue.
4. Automatic configuration:
   • Thunderbird automatically tries to find your email provider's server settings.
   • Check that the settings are correct (e.g. IMAP for incoming mail and SMTP for outgoing mail).
5. Manual settings (if required):
   • If the automatic configuration does not work, you can enter the settings manually. You will need your e-mail provider's server names, ports, and security options for this.
   • For example:
     • IMAP server: theflycatcher.nl (port 993, SSL/TLS)
     • SMTP server: theflycatcher.nl (port 587, STARTTLS)
6. Add account: Click Done once the settings are correct.
7. Test your account: Send a test e-mail to check that everything works correctly.

Notes:

• Check with Gmail, Yahoo or iCloud if you need to set app-specific passwords or enable two-step verification.
• If you encounter problems, consult the Thunderbird support page.

With these steps, you can easily link an email account to Thunderbird!
