If you have web hosting with email accounts, you can access your emails using a desktop client like Mozilla Thunderbird. This guide will help you configure it correctly.

First, you need your email account credentials from your hosting provider: your full email address (e.g., name@yourdomain.com) and the password you set for that mailbox.

You also need the server settings. These are typically:

• Incoming Mail Server (IMAP): mail.yourdomain.com (Port 993, SSL/TLS required)
• Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): mail.yourdomain.com (Port 465 or 587, SSL/TLS required)

Important: Replace "yourdomain.com" with your actual domain name. If unsure, check your hosting control panel (like cPanel) or contact support for the exact server addresses.

In Thunderbird, go to Account Settings > Account Actions > Add Mail Account. Enter your name, email, and password. Thunderbird will often try to auto-configure. If it fails, select "Manual config" and enter the server details above.

Ensure Authentication is set to "Normal Password" for both servers. After saving, send a test email to verify both receiving and sending work. Using Thunderbird helps keep your hosting emails organized and accessible offline.
