Email Setup[edit]
The first time that you use Thunderbird, you will need to configure it to send/receive your mail. You will probably get a screen like this:
- If this is the first time opening Thunderbird, the Wizard will start automatically. If not, Click "Create a new account" in the main window.
- The Mail Account Setup screen will show. Please enter the required information.
- Your Full Name
- Your email address. It will be netID@igb.illinois.edu.
- Your IGB password.
- Click "Continue".
- At the next screen. Select if you want to use IMAP or POP3 for checking your mail.
- IMAP leaves the mail on the mail server. Thus many mail clients are able to see the same emails.
- POP3 downloads the mail from the mail server onto your computer. This allows quicker access to your mail but is only ideal if one computer is checking the mail.
- Hit "Done" to finish setting up your email
