1. Open the account configuration dialog
- In mozilla-mail go to Edit > Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings
- In thunderbird go to Tools > Account Settings
- click 'Add Account'
- New Account Setup: select 'Email Account'
|
|
2. Identity: fill in your name, and the email address you've selected at divmod |
|
3. Server Information:
You have two choices here, POP or IMAP
- POP is the usual method that ISP's use for providing email
service to customers. Your client connects to the server
and downloads all new messages to your computer.
- IMAP allows you to manipulate messages on the server
so any changes you make will show up when you connect to divmod.com
using your web browser.
With either choice you should set:
- Incoming Server to 'divmod.com' (minus quotes)
- Outgoing Server also to 'divmod.com'
|
|
4. User Name:
for Incoming User Name just put your divmod.com username
(the portion of your email address before the '@') |
|
5. Account Name:
This is how mozilla mail or thunderbird will display this email
account in the settings dialog, so you can choose something creative or
just accept the default value (most users will just want to click 'Next' here) |
|
6. Congratulations! hooray! you're almost done! Check your settings and click 'Finish' |
|

- In the left hand tree, select 'Server Settings' under the account name you chose in step 5
- In the main part of the dialog, under 'Server Settings' check the boxes next to both
'Use Secure Connection (SSL)' and 'Use Secure Authentication'
- note: the secure port number (in the upper-right-hand corner) for IMAP servers is 993

|
8. Outgoing Server (SMTP) Settings:
- in the left hand tree select 'Outgoing Server (SMTP)'
- for Server Name put 'divmod.com'
- check the 'Use name and password' checkbox
