  • Find the item in the list named yourdomain.tld Mail - mail.yourdomain.tld and select it
  • Check the details of the selected server below:
    • If it says Port: 465 and Connection Security: SSL/TLS then congrats! You're already set up! You can skip the rest of this guide
    • If you instead see Port: 587 and Connection Security: STARTTLS we'll need to make some changes, following the steps below
  • Click on Edit... on the right hand side
  • Change the Port under the Settings header to 465 and the Connection Security down under Security and Authentication to SSL/TLS and click on OK.
  • You're done! Feel free to close the account settings tab that had been opened in the main Thunderbird window

  • In this window, select More Settings...
