Thunderbird¶
Use this guide to configure Fused email in Thunderbird. Confirm the mailbox password and IMAP/SMTP settings before changing the mail app.
Before you start
Make sure the email account already exists in cPanel. If it does not, create the email account first.
Add the Account¶
- Open Thunderbird.
- If Thunderbird asks to become your default mail client, choose the option you prefer.
- If Thunderbird offers to create a new email address through a third-party provider, skip that step and choose Use my existing email.
- Enter your name, full email address, and email account password.
- Select Continue.
- Choose IMAP unless you specifically need POP3.
- Confirm the server settings below.
- Select Done.
Use IMAP
IMAP keeps mail, folders, read status, and deletions synchronized between Thunderbird, webmail, and other devices.

Authentication is required
Thunderbird must use the full email address and password for outgoing mail.
If Thunderbird Cannot Detect Settings¶
Choose Manual config and enter the IMAP or POP3 settings above, plus the SMTP settings for outgoing mail.
If Thunderbird warns that the password or username is incorrect, confirm that:
- The username is the full email address.
- The password works in webmail.
- The incoming server uses SSL/TLS.
- The outgoing server uses authentication.
