Adding additional IMAP accounts to Mailspring

Adding extra accounts to Mailspring is pretty easy, but keep in mind the free version of Mailspring currently limits you to 4 accounts total.

Step 1: From the Mailscreen main page, click the ≡ icon (hamburger menu) in the top right corner of Mailspring, just below the X button.

Step 2: In the menu that appears, click Add Account.

Step 3: The Connect an email account screen appears, just like the first time you added an account to Mailspring.

Select IMAP / SMTP to continue.

Step 4: Mailspring will prompt you for the Incoming Mail (IMAP) and Outgoing Mail (SMTP) credentials:

Reviewing the options on the left side of this account setup screen:

Incoming Mail (IMAP) server should be mail.yourdomain.tld
Port should be set to 993
The security dropdown menu should have SSL / TLS selected
Do not check Allow insecure SSL
In username, enter the full username for the account you’re adding – [email protected]
In the password field, enter the password for this account. 

Reviewing the options on the right side of this account setup screen:

Outgoing Mail (SMTP) server should be mail.yourdomain.tld
Port should be set to 465
Do not check Allow insecure SSL
In username, enter the full username for the account you’re adding – [email protected]
In the password field, enter the password for this account. 

When you’ve completed the fields, click Connect Account.

Step 5: Mailspring will test the account & server settings you have provided. If the account details you have entered are correct, you will be taken to the main Mailspring page where you can see both accounts.

And that’s it! Now you know how to add an additional account to Mailspring!

Adding your first email account to Thunderbird

If you just installed Thunderbird and need to add your first email account, you’re in the right spot!

Step 1: Open Thunderbird. This can be done by clicking the logo in the bottom left corner of your taskbar on your keyboard type mail, then select Thunderbird from the search results.

Step 2: When Thunderbird opens for the first time, you’ll see a screen that looks like this:

Step 3: Enter your Name, as you wish others to see it when you send e-mail via Thunderbird, as well as the e-mail address and password for the account you’re adding.

In the bottom left, click Configure manually. The window will expand so you can enter server and protocol information.

Step 4: Since we’re configuring this account manually, you will need to enter your incoming and outgoing server information, as well as other information. Let’s review the information at the bottom of this window:

Under the Incoming column:

The Protocol we are using is IMAP.
The server should be mail.yourdomain.tld
The port should be 993
In the drop down next to SSL, select SSL/TLS
In the drop down next to Authentication, select Normal password
In the box next to Username enter the full [email protected] username for the account you’re adding.

Under the Outgoing column:

The server should be mail.yourdomain.tld
The port should be 465
In the drop down next to SSL, select SSL/TLS
In the drop down next to Authentication, select Normal password
In the box next to Username enter the full [email protected] username for the account you’re adding.

When you’ve finished, click Done. Thunderbird will perform a connection test to validate the server information + username and password you have provided in the configuration are correct.

Step 5: That’s it! If you see a window prompting you whether you want to make Thunderbird the default client for Mail, Calendars, and Contacts and not an error message, then congrats! You’ve added your first IMAP account to Thunderbird!

To add a new account, click the ≡ icon (hamburger menu) in the top right corner of Thunderbird below the X to close the application.

Step 3:  In the menu that drops down, click Account Settings.

Step 4: The Account Settings window will open. In this window, you have the option to edit the settings for accounts you have already added to Thunderbird, as well as add new ones.

To add a new email account, click Account Actions in the bottom left corner, then click Add Mail Account.

Step 5: A familiar window will open. Yep, it’s the same one we saw when we added our first email account to Thunderbird.

Enter Your name (as you wish others to see it when you send mail via Thunderbird), Email address, and Password for the account you’re adding.

Then click Configure manually.

Step 6: As before, the Setup window will expand and you will have the option to enter the server configuration information for the email account which you are adding.

Under the Incoming column:

The Protocol we are using is IMAP.
The server should be mail.yourdomain.tld
The port should be 993
In the drop down next to SSL, select SSL/TLS
In the drop down next to Authentication, select Normal password
In the box next to Username enter the full [email protected] username for the account you’re adding.

In the drop down next to SSL, select SSL/TLS
In the drop down next to Authentication, select Normal password
In the box next to Username enter the full [email protected] username for the account you’re adding.

When you’ve finished, click Done. Thunderbird will perform a connection test to validate the server information + username and password you have provided in the configuration are correct.

Step 5: That’s it! After adding the new account, you’ll be taken back to Thunderbirds Account Settings area where you can add additional accounts if you wish, or make changes to existing ones.

That’s it! Now you know how to add additional accounts to Mozilla Thunderbird.
