This guide explains how to configure email in mozilla thunderbird for a VastyHost hosting account.
- Confirm the full email address and mailbox password.
- Use the mail-server hostname shown in your hosting or Plesk mail settings.
- Prefer IMAP for incoming mail when you want messages synchronized across devices.
- Use authenticated SMTP for outgoing mail and enable TLS/SSL when offered.
- If the connection fails, recheck the username, password, ports, encryption mode, DNS records, and mailbox quota.
Before you begin
Keep a current backup before changing production website files, databases, DNS, PHP settings, or application configuration. Exact menu names can vary slightly by Plesk and application version.
