For Incoming Messages

We’ve to set up the IMAP as follows:

3. Enter the email address, password, and name in the Mail Account Setup window. Select “Continue.”

4. Thunderbird will attempt to set up the email on its own. In case of failure, select “Manual Config.”

5. Choose “IMAP” as the kind of incoming server.

6. Please complete the following information:

• Server Hostname: ssl0.ovh.net
• Port: 993
• SSL: SSL/TLS
• Authentication: Normal Password

7. Press “Done.”

For Outgoing Messages

We’ve to set up SMTP as follows:

1. Locate the “Outgoing Server (SMTP)” section on the left of the Account Settings window.

2. To add a new SMTP server, click “Add”.

3. Please complete the following information:

• Server Name: ssl0.ovh.net
• Port: 587
• Connection Security: STARTTLS
• Authentication Method: Normal Password

4. Press “OK.”

5. Locate and pick the email account from the list on the left of the Account Settings box.

6. Select the newly added OVH SMTP server from the “Outgoing Server (SMTP)” dropdown menu.
