How to Install Mozilla Thunderbird and configure
Hover email
- Click on the Skip this
and use my existing email button.
- Next, your Hover email
account needs to be configured. Thunderbird will automatically
present you with the Mail Account Setup window pictured above. Type
in your name as you wish it to appear on your sent email messages, your
Hover email address, and your Hover password. Click Continue.
- Thunderbird will attempt,
and likely fail, to configure your email settings automatically.
Click on the Manual Config button to skip this process.
- As pictured below, enter the
following settings:
Username: Enter your full Hover email address
Incoming: mail.hover.com
Outgoing: mail.hover.com
Select IMAP after the Incoming mail server name. Although we
recommend using IMAP, POP3 can also be used.
Incoming port number: 993 (995 if you are using POP3 instead of
IMAP)
Outgoing port number: 465
Incoming security: SSL/TLS
Outgoing security: SSL/TLS
Authentication needs be set to Normal password for both incoming and
outgoing mail.
Once these settings have been entered, click on Create Account.
Note - Thunderbird 13 users may receive an error if they try to re-test
these settings even after the settings are entered perfectly. The
settings above should work after clicking on Create Account. It is
not necessary to re-test the settings. Please ignore any errors when
testing the settings prior to creating the account.
- A System Integration
window will prompt you to set Thunderbird as your default mail
client. Click OK.
- Thunderbird will connect to
the Hover email server and start downloading your email messages and
folders.
Your Hover email account configuration has been completed!
NOTE:
After downloading Thunderbird the Menu Bar may not be
displayed by default. In order to show the menu bar you must Right
Click in the blank space at the top of the program and check the
option for Menu Bar.
Now you have the options for File, Edit, View, Go, Message, Tools, and
Help.
