How to configure an SMTP server in Mozilla Thunderbird?

 To set up a mail client it’s necessary to configure an SMTP server that will take care of the delivery of your emails. Luckily, the configuration of SMTP servers is generally very easy – you will simply have to open your email software and add the right SMTP parametres in the settings windows.

Steps to configure SMTP Server :

1. Select the voice “Account Settings” in your mail client, generally in the “Tools” menu.

   2. Choose the “Outgoing server (SMTP)” voice:

3. Push the “Add…” button in order to set a new SMTP. A popup window will appear:

4.  Now simply fill the voices as follows:

  • Description: an informal name that you will decide to identify the server (best to use the email provider’s, like Gmail or Yahoo).
  • Server Name: the actual SMTP server’s specification.
  • Port: usually SMTP works with port 25, but as the screenshot shows it can work also with 587.
  • Connection security: in itself, SMTP email transfer doesn’t provide an encryption. So if you want to make your connection more secure, it’s a good choice to use a STARTTLS or SSL/TLS extension, that employ a separate port for encrypted communication.
  • Authentication method: there’s a certain number of methods (passwords, CRAM-MD5, KERBEROS etc.).
  • User Name: your email address.
