How to Configure Thunderbird 10 Email
You can access your SmarterMail accounts with
a desktop client like Mozilla Thunderbird 10 by using either IMAP or POP3.
Please note that currently Thunderbird 10 can only synchronize SmarterMail messages. Funambol SyncML and the Lightning add-on are required to
synchronize your calendar and contact data. Versions of these products supporting Thunderbird 10 are still in development. To see if updated versions of the Funambol and Lightning add-ons have been released,
please visit http://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird.
Utilizing IMAP allows all messages and folders
to be stored on the server. In addition to that IMAP provides an optional feature that pushes all new messages to Thunderbird
10 as they are received by the mail server. Unlike POP3, IMAP offers two-way communication between your SmarterMail mailbox and your email client(s).
Meaning that when you log in to the SmarterMail Web interface, actions you performed on email clients and mobile devices will automatically appear in the Web interface (and vice versa).
When using POP3 email is saved in a mailbox to a remote server till
the user (you) checks their mail. Your mail is then downloaded to your choice of device and is no longer maintained on the server.
When POP3 users are traveling or checking their mail from a multiple of locations, older
emails will cease be visible because the messages will only exist on the device/computer you originally received your mail.
Please note though that you can enabled Thunderbird to keep messages on the server
so you will be able to access your messages and folders from any computer via the SmarterMail Web interface or
choice of mobile device.
Applies to SmarterMail 9.x - 12.x

Email Set up info
Please note that we only provide email services - not the software or devices.
Email Software
We do not provide email
software for your computer or laptop. You must go to the software
vendor to set up your email software. For example, Outlook is developed
and sold by Microsoft, so Microsoft is who you would go to for help with
Outlook.
Email Devices
We do not provide email devices, like smart phones, tablets, or any devices that
might be set up to access your email. For example, iPhones are Apple products,
so Apple or their dealers is who you would go to for help with the products they
manufacture.
Instructions
That being said, we have several basic
instructions here that we hope may help get you started, but for the
BEST help, please directly contact the vendor or creator of the
software you are using - or the company that sold you the software (or the
phone) you are trying to hook up. We will be happy to
recommend other companies that specialize in this regard.
