Using Mozilla Thunderbird with Your Email
It's easy to send and receive messages online with Workspace Webmail. But you also can access your email with an email client, a third-party application — such as Mozilla Thunderbird® — that manages the delivery and receipt of messages from your account.
When you install Thunderbird and add an account to it, the client attempts to automatically detect information that includes your port and server settings. If it's successful, Thunderbird sets up your email with just a few clicks. If Thunderbird doesn't detect your settings, you must enter them manually.
Follow the first few steps to set up your email automatically with Thunderbird. Follow the remaining steps if you need to manually enter your settings.
NOTE: To set up Mozilla Thunderbird with your email, you need to know your POP or IMAP email server settings. To find them, go to the Email Setup Center and write down the information that displays under Email Server Settings.
