In this tutorial, you will learn how to use SSL to send your emails to Mozilla Thunderbird for Mac and then retrieve it.
SSL (Secure Socket Layer) is used for the secure transmission of data via e-mail.
The instructions for setting up a mailbox without SSL can be found under the following link:
First download the Thunderbird program from the manufacturer's site.
Select in the upper navigation bar of Thunderbird click on "Extras" and then on "Account settings".
A new window will appear, in which you can click on "Account Actions".
An extended menu will open up:
Click here on "Add e-mail account".
You will now see the following screen:
Fill in the fields as shown.
Your name: Your "natural" name or your company name.
Your e-mail address: Your e-mail address
Password: Your personal password for the respective e-mail account.
And click on "Next".
The following screen will appear:
Replace all fields with the information about your e-mail box.
You can also find this in your customer login under "E-mails -> Server information".
Then click on "Test configuration again".
The program then checks whether the settings are correct and logs on to the registered server as a test.
If you get an error message, check the entered values again.
Now you will see the following screen:
Click on "Create account".
Your new e-mail address will be created in Thunderbird and can be used immediately to send and receive emails.
