Thunderbird on PC

Aus JHML Knowledge Base

To configure your email Account on your PC, it's recommended to use Thunderbird as your main email client.

Thunderbird connects to the mailserver flawlessly and it's just a few clicks to also synchronise calendars and contacts.

If you already use Thunderbird, (It's recommended to update to the latest version) you simply need to open the extended menu and select "New" and "eMail Account".

Afterwards you will see the "New Account" dialog. If you are a new user, you will also see this screen. Enter your credentials as shown below and click "Continue"

Enter your name (1), your email address (3) and your password (3)
