Configuring Thunderbird

Setting up the Mozilla Thunderbird Email Client

Older instructions

Prior to 2024-6-19 (??date may need changing), instructions for setting up Thunderbird were in an HTML web page https://www.ncf.ca/ncf/support/mail_thunderbird3.html. This page dealt with a single email provider and none of the additional features of Thunderbird. It is also possible that the recommended settings may be sub-optimal or not work.

What you will need to know

While some of the following information may be gathered by Thunderbird itself as we set it up for a particular NCF member, it is useful to have it saved somewhere safe for reference and security. The list of information has been mentioned already in the Email (currently draft??) page.
