I'm setting up my University account in Thunderbird for the first time

These steps will guide you through the process of setting up your University account in Thunderbird.

1. If you see the Import Wizard window, choose Don't import anything.
2. Click Next.

   NOTE

   If you don't see the Mail Account Setup window (i.e., if you've previously set up another account in Thunderbird), click the Tools menu, and then click Account Settings. Below the left panel, click Account Actions, and then click Add Mail Account to get to the Mail Account Setup window.

4. Enter your name, email address, and password.
5. Uncheck the Remember password check box.

Ensure that the settings match the Incoming Server column in the table above. Then, use the following settings for your deletion preferences:
   1. Under When I delete a message, choose Just mark it as deleted.
   2. Check Clean up ("Expunge") Inbox on Exit.
   3. Check Empty Trash on Exit.
8. Click Outgoing Server (SMTP) in the left panel, and then click Edit. Change the settings to match the Outgoing column in the table above.
