4) At this point Thunderbird allows you to manually specify all the parameters necessary for the account. Complete the configuration of the fields for incoming and outgoing mail. For incoming mail it is necessary to choose whether to have a POP3 or IMAP mailbox, the MailPro Linux solution supports both standards. If you don’t know the difference between IMAP and POP and which protocol is best suited to your needs, please read this article. The image shows the setting for the configuration without encryption, in case of encryption fill the relative parameters.
