How To Configure Thunderbird ProtonMail?

ProtonMail is an email service that encrypts and decrypts all the emails that enter and leave an email account. This email service can be integrated with an email client that supports the IMAP and SMTP protocols. On this web page, we’ll show you how to configure Thunderbird protonmail.

Open the Thunderbird protonmail application on your computer.

Go to the Settings section by right-clicking on the blank area and selecting Settings.

Scroll down the Settings window and select the Add Mail Account option from the drop-down menu.

Now, a dialog box prompting you to enter your account credentials such as email address and password will appear on the screen.

Enter the account credentials in the given fields and click Done.

Now, if you have entered the credentials of a custom domain, then you’ll receive a warning message. Skip the warning message and enter the account credentials correctly and click Done.

On the Mail Account Setup dialog box, you’ll be asked to confirm a security exception. Confirm it and click the Confirm Security Exception button.

Now, the Thunderbird application will try to detect the newly added account’s mailboxes and all other information. It may take a maximum of 5 minutes for this process to complete.

Once it is done, configure your account’s default settings manually.
Click the Tools menu.
Select the Account Settings option followed by Copier & Folders.
Navigate to the Drafts and Template section.
Select the Local Folders option in the “Drafts” Folder on drop-down menu and click OK.
Now, if you wish to disable your client’s spam filter, then navigate to the Junk Setting section and disable it.
After disabling it, compose a new email message and try to send it.
If you receive a Send Message error, then click the OK button and confirm the security exception for the SMTP server.
After confirming the security exception, send the email message.
If the configuration is done correctly, the Successful message will be displayed on the screen.
