Introduction
This guide will explain how to set up your cPanel created email account in the Thunderbird email app.

 

Procedure
Open Thunderbird -> File -> New -> Existing Mail Account

Enter Your name, Email Address, and Password, then click Continue.

 

Thunderbird will attempt to detect the settings; if an error occurs, ignore and proceed to enter your details manually.

 

The next screen will ask you to fill in the details; you can use POP or IMAP. If you're not sure, IMAP should be used. For more information on the differences https://docs.cpanel.net/knowledge-base/email/imap-versus-pop3/
