Thunderbird: Activate SSL encryption

Your email traffic will be more secure if you activate SSL encryption. We explain how this works with Thunderbird below.

SSL encryption under Thunderbird in four steps

1. First click on the email account and go to the "Account Settings".
2. In the "Account Settings" menu you decide on the "Server Settings".
3. Under "Server Settings" go to the "Security and Authentication" group and select the "SSL / TLS" option from the pull-down list next to "Connection Security".
4. Finally, confirm your selection with "OK" and you have already activated secure SSL encryption.

So that you don't sink into the chaos of e-mail, you can use Mozilla Thunderbird to use filters to keep things tidy and, above all, to keep them organized. You can find out how to create filters quickly and easily in the article "Thunderbird: Creating filters - how it works".
