Thunderbird IMAP/SMTP setup

This guide is for users at DTU Compute only

From April 5th 2023 all mailbox'es are expected to be migrated to outlook365.com, which will simplify the setup greatly. In the setup of a new account you will type your email address and based on that thunderbird will be able to set all the servernames.

To set up Thunderbird e-mail for DTUs Exchange, use these settings:
