Thunderbird Email Setup

This tutorial uses screenshots from Thunderbird in Windows XP. Other versions should be very similar.

---

Launch the Thunderbird email client. If you have never used Thunderbird before, click on "Create a new account". Otherwise, click the Tools menu and select "Account Settings", then click Add Account.

You should now be in the account setup wizard. Complete the following steps to set up your account.

• Figure 1 — Select Email account, then click Next.
• Figure 2 — Enter your name and email address (your Chemistry account name followed by "@chem.byu.edu"), then click Next.
• Figure 3 — Select IMAP as the server type and type "mail.chem.byu.edu" as the server name, then click Next.
• Figure 4 — For the user name, enter your Chemistry account name, then click Next.
• Figure 5 — Choose whatever account name you like, such as "Chemistry Email", then click Next.
• Verify the summary of information, then click Finish when you're done.

NOTE: If the outgoing user name is not the same as your Chemistry account name, you will need to change it. To do this, return to the Account Setting screen and click on Outgoing Server (SMTP). The server name should be "mail.chem.byu.edu", and the user name should be your Chemistry account name. The box for "Use name and password" should be checked. Click OK when done. (See Figure 6)

At this point, your account should be fully configured and ready to go. If you encounter any problems, please contact the CSR office.
