AuthSMTP - Mozilla Thunderbird 0.9 (Alternate Port)

Important Points

• Mozilla Thunderbird 0.9 is not the current version - new details can be found at Mozilla Thunderbird 1.0.

• These instructions assume your email account has already been setup and is collecting email correctly.

• Take a note of any settings you change.

• Only change the items specified - you should not need to change either your email address, POP3 server, POP3 username / password.

• These instructions are only for Mozilla Thunderbird 0.9 - for other email programs please see How To Setup AuthSMTP or contact us.

• We have instructions for both default SMTP port and alternate SMTP port configurations - alternate port is generally used if your ISP blocks the normal port 25 SMTP access (as many do these days!).

Step One

• Load Mozilla Thunderbird 0.9

• From the main screen open the 'Tools' menu and then select 'Account Settings...'

Step Two

• Select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)'

• Change the SMTP server name to the SMTP server we supplied with your signup email

• Change the port number to: 2525

• Click on 'Use name and password'

• Enter the AuthSMTP username (it will ask for your password when you first go to send a message)

• IMPORTANT: 'authsmtp.username' is an example - if your AuthSMTP username was 'ab12345' enter it as that and *not* as 'authsmtp.ab12345'

• Make sure 'Use secure connection' is set to: No

• Click 'Ok'

Step Three

• You should now be back to the main Thunderbird 0.9 screen

• Close Thunderbird 0.9 and then reload

• Check you are online then test to ensure you can send mail correctly

• All done!
