How to use Mailfence with Thunderbird

You can integrate your Mailfence account into Thunderbird using SMTP and IMAP/POP. This feature is available with Entry, Pro, and Ultra subscription plans.

If you are using custom domain based address, then make sure that you have configured auto-configuration for your domain.

1. Open your Thunderbird client and go to File -> New.

Keep Remember password checked (optional)

Only the primary email address or username can be used for authentication. If you encounter an error message, we suggest checking your account connections history to check why a particular connection attempt failed.

Configuration settings for SMTP, IMAP and POP for your Mailfence account can be found in your account Settings -> Account -> My connection settings.

You can also sync Mailfence Contacts and Calendar events with CardDAV and CalDAV or using Exchange ActiveSync. Mailfence Group member chat function can also be configured using XMPP.
