Thunderbird Email Setup Guide

Use the following tutorials to configure your email client to access your eTecc-hosted email. IF you have any issues, please refer to the FAQ/Troubleshooting guide following the configuration tutorial.

Basic Settings

These settings are universal to any mail client. If you don't find your client listed in our configuration guides, you may be able to follow the on-screen instructions or help guide packaged with your mail client to set up your connection.

Incoming server name: mail.yourdomain.com
Outgoing server name: mail.yourdomain.com
Username: youremail@yourdomain.com (for example, support@etecc.com)
Password: Should be supplied to your by your administrator

eTecc requires that your client authenticate with the server. If your email client gives you this option, please enable it.
