# Thunderbird: setting up your email

For Thunderbird on Windows, Mac and Linux. You need your email address and the password of your mailbox; everything else is below.

-

## Start a new account

Click the menu (three lines) at the top right, then New Account and Email.

-

## Enter name, address and password

Your name as recipients see it, your full email address and the password of your mailbox. Click Continue.

-

## Check what Thunderbird found

Thunderbird looks up the settings itself. If it shows IMAP with imap.migadu.com and SMTP with smtp.migadu.com, click Done.

-

## If that doesn't work: manually

Click Configure manually. Incoming: protocol IMAP, server imap.migadu.com, port 993, connection security SSL/TLS, authentication "Normal password". Outgoing: server smtp.migadu.com, port 465, connection security SSL/TLS, authentication "Normal password". The username for both is your full email address, with the password of your mailbox. Click Re-test and then Done.

## All details at a glance

| | Server | Port | Security |
|---|

| Incoming (IMAP) | imap.migadu.com | 993 | SSL/TLS |

| Outgoing (SMTP) | smtp.migadu.com | 465 | SSL/TLS |

- **Username:** your full email address, for both incoming and outgoing.
- **Password:** the password of your mailbox. We don't know it; if you have lost it, we send you a link to choose a new one.

- **Account type:** IMAP. Then you see the same folders and messages on every device.
- **Webmail:** without setting anything up you can also read and send your email at [webmail.modexsoftware.nl](https://webmail.modexsoftware.nl). Log in with your full email address and your password; leave the field for the verification code empty.

Buttons sometimes have slightly different names per version than here; the details you fill in are always the same. If it doesn't work, first check that your password is right by logging in to the [webmail](https://webmail.modexsoftware.nl).
