New Email Settings:

-
- While attempting to configure click manual config or wait for the screen to expand with additional setup options.
- Under the expanded configuration menu, start by changing the Incoming mail from IMAP to POP3.
- For the incoming server hostname fill in ‘pop.myvfmail.com’. We strongly recommend you use POP, but if you insist on using IMAP use hostname ‘imap.myvfmail.com’.
- Set the port number to 995 (use 993 for IMAP) and the SSL to SSL/TLS. Use the picture below for assistance.
- For Outgoing settings, make the hostname ‘smtp.myvfmail.com’.
- Change the port number to 465. SSL would again be SSL/TLS.
- In the username put your FULL email address in both the incoming and outgoing fields. Again use the picture below for reference.
- After clicking Re-Test, you should get a notification that says ‘The following settings were found by probing the given server’. Click done afterwards.
- Finally, select your account on the left hand side of Thunderbird.
- In the upper left hand corner, click on ‘Get Messages’. Thinderbird will start pulling down your email from the server.
- Open Thunderbird. Under Create new account click on the Email option.
