Editing an existing Thunderbird Email profile

If you want to edit an existing email account's settings, here are some guidelines.


1. Access your email account settings by selecting Account Settings under the Tools menu.


2. There will be a list of settings under your "Account Name" account.


3. Click on the "Server Settings" tab to edit the incoming server name.


4. To change the SMTP server, click on the "Outgoing Server (SMTP)", choose the SMTP server you want to change then click on Edit.


5. Ideally (if your ISP does not block Port 25), you can and should use "mail.corp-com.com" as you incoming and outgoing servers.

NOTE: If your ISP does block Port 25, do not follow these steps; instead click here.

Assuming your ISP does not block Port 25, the "Description" will be the name you gave your account and under "Security and Authentication" you should require authentication. Check the box for "Use name and password."

In the "User Name" dialog box use the same username as the incoming server (i.e. your email address, myname@somecompany.com)

NOTE: If your ISP does block Port 25, do not follow these steps; instead click here.

You should be all set! The next time you try to connect a dialog box will appear asking for a password. Enter your password and select the option to remember so that you will not be asked to enter a password again.
