Thunderbird: Add email account

If you have just installed Thunderbird or you want to use a second address, you can add an email account. We'll show you how it's done.

Add an email account to Thunderbird

1. In Thunderbird, click on the "Account Settings" in the menu bar under "Tools".
2. Now select the option "Add email account" at the bottom left under "Account Actions".
3. Then enter your name, your email address and the associated password here.
4. If you click the "Next" button below, Thunderbird tries to find the right settings.
5. If this does not work, you have to enter the settings for the POP3 / IMAP and SMTP server manually. You can find the data on the website of your mail provider.
