Enabling MST Directory Access in Mozilla Thunderbird

Setting up your MST e-mail account with Thunderbird

If you have your MST e-mail set up already, skip ahead.

• Open Thunderbird.
• Click the Tools menu, then click Account Settings. The Account Settings window will come up.
• Click the Add Account... button. The Account Wizard will come up.
• Click the Next button to choose a new e-mail account. The Identity screen will come up.
• Fill in the Your Name field with the name you want to be displayed to recipents when you send e-mail. Then, fill in your MST e-mail address in the Email Address field. Then click Next to bring up the Server Information screen.
• Click the radio button labeled IMAP. Fill in the Incoming Server field with minermail.mst.edu. I recommend unchecking the box labeled Use Global Inbox, if you have more than one e-mail account you to use with Thunderbird. Click Next to bring up the User Names screen.
• Fill in your complete MST e-mail address (include @mst.edu) in the Incoming User Name field. If this is your first e-mail account with Thunderbird, also fill in the Outgoing User Name with your full MST e-mail user name (don't include @mst.edu). Click next to bring up the Account Name screen.
• Enter a name for the account, and click the Finish button. You'll return to the Account Settings window.
• Under your new account's heading, click Outgoing Server (SMTP). The Outgoing Server settings screen will come up.
• Click the radio button labeled SSL
• Click the OK button on the Account Settings window to return to the main Thunderbird Window. Your e-mail account should be ready to use.
• Click the Get Mail button to download the message titles from your inbox.
