How to use Mailfence with Thunderbird

You can integrate your Mailfence account into Thunderbird using SMTP and IMAP/POP. This feature is available in paid 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.
  2. Go to File -> New -> Existing Mail Account.
  3. Enter your Mailfence account Display name, Email address and Password.
    • Keep Remember password checked (optional).
  4. Select IMAP or POP3.
  5. Click on Done.

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.
