You can connect Mozilla Thunderbird 8.0 to your e-mail account using POP3 or IMAP4 connectivity. These instructions apply to Windows and Mac.

For information about how to connect to your e-mail account using Thunderbird 3.0, see 为电子邮件帐户设置 Mozilla Thunderbird 3.0.

How do I set up Mozilla Thunderbird 8.0 for access to my e-mail account?

  1. Open Mozilla Thunderbird. The Mail Account Setup dialog box will open the first time that you open Thunderbird. If the Mail Account Setup dialog box doesn't open, do the following:

    1. On the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
    2. On the Account Settings page, under Account Actions, click Add Mail Account.

  2. In the Mail Account Setup dialog box, do the following:

    1. In the Your Name box, enter the name that you want to appear on the "From" line in your outgoing messages.
    2. In the Email Address box, enter your e-mail address.
    3. In the Password box, enter your password. Click Continue if you're using a Windows computer or click Next if you're using a Mac. Thunderbird will try to find the settings you need to configure for your account.

  3. Click Stop, or wait for Thunderbird to try to find your account settings. You’ll see the message: "Thunderbird failed to find the settings for your email account."

  4. The IMAP check box, next to Incoming, is selected by default and is recommended. In the Server hostname box, enter the name of your incoming server. For information about how to find your incoming (POP3 or IMAP4) server name, see How do I find the server settings? later in this topic.

    备注

    Leave the Port option set to Auto. Leave the SSL and Authentication options set to Autodetect.

  5. In the Server hostname text box, next to Outgoing, enter your SMTP server name. For information about how to find your outgoing (SMTP) server name, see How do I find the server settings? later in this topic.

    备注

    Leave the Port option set to Auto. Leave the SSL and Authentication options set to Autodetect.

  6. In the Username box, type your complete e-mail address. For example, tonysmith@contoso.com.

  7. Click the Re-test button. If you see the message "The following settings were found by probing the given server,” click Create Account. A page opens that lets you view or change other Thunderbird settings. Click OK when you've finished viewing or changing the settings. If you’re unable to connect, see “What else do I need know?” later in this topic.

    重要

    If you're using POP, under Server Settings, it's a good idea to select Leave messages on the server. After you select this check box, a copy of the messages you retrieve to your local computer will be kept on the server. You’ll also be able to access your messages from a different mail application.

How do I find the server settings?

在设置 POP3 或 IMAP4 电子邮件程序之前，您需要查找自己的 POP3、IMAP4 和 SMTP 服务器设置。

观看此视频以了解如何查找 POP 或 IMAP 电子邮件程序的服务器设置。

若要查找服务器设置，请使用 Outlook Web App 登录您的电子邮件帐户。登录后，请单击“选项”>“查看所有选项”>“帐户”>“我的帐户”>“POP、IMAP 和 SMTP 访问的设置”。“协议设置”****页的“POP 设置”、“IMAP 设置”****和“SMTP 设置”下列出了您可能需要输入的 POP3、IMAP4 和 SMTP 服务器名称以及其他设置。

备注

如果在“POP 设置”、“IMAP 设置”和“SMTP 设置”旁边显示了“不可用”，则表示您的帐户可能未设置为使用 POP 或 IMAP 电子邮件程序。有关详细信息，请与管理您电子邮件帐户的人员联系。

What else do I need to know?

  • If you don't know whether to use POP3 or IMAP4, consider using IMAP4 because it supports more features.
  • 如果您的电子邮件帐户属于要注册的类型，则您必须在首次登录到 Outlook Web App 时对其进行注册。 如果您尚未通过 Outlook Web App 注册您的帐户，则通过 POP3 或 IMAP4 连接到您的电子邮件帐户将失败。 在登录到您的帐户后，请注销。 然后尝试使用 POP3 或 IMAP4 程序进行连接。 有关如何使用 Outlook Web App 登录到您的帐户的详细信息，请参阅如何使用 Web 浏览器登录到您的电子邮件。 如果您在登录时遇到问题，请参阅常见问题：登录和密码问题或与管理您的电子邮件帐户的人员联系。
  • If you’re using an incoming POP3 server, you can only synchronize your Inbox folder. If you’re using IMAP4, you can choose the folders that you want Thunderbird to synchronize with the server. Remember that IMAP4 doesn’t support the synchronization of the Contacts and Calendar folders.
  • Thunderbird uses a folder named Sent to store sent items. Exchange and Outlook Web App use a folder named Sent Items. You can synchronize the e-mail items that you’ve sent in Thunderbird with the Sent Items folder on the Exchange server. To do this, follow these steps:
    1. In Thunderbird, in the console tree, select your e-mail account. In the details pane, under Advanced, click Manage Folder Subscriptions. In the Subscribe dialog box, select the Sent Items check box, and then click OK.
    2. In Thunderbird, on the Tools menu, click Account Settings.
    3. In the navigation pane of Account Settings, select Copies & Folders for your e-mail account.
    4. In the details pane, under When sending messages, automatically, select Other. In the drop-down list, select your user name, select Sent Items, and then click OK.
