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: 


Account Settings

  Account Name:             your-initials@dtu.dk
  Your Name:                your name
  Email address:            your-initials@dtu.dk


Server Settings

  Server Type:              IMAP Mail Server
  Server Name:              outlook.office365.com
  Port:                     993
  User Name:                your-initials
  Security Settings:
    Connection security:    SSL/TLS
    Authentication method:  Oauth2


Outgoing Server (STMP) Settings

Description:                outlook.office365.com
Server Name:                outlook.office365.com
Port:                       587
Security and Authentication:
  Connection security:      STARTTLS
  Authentication method:    OAuth2
  User Name:                outlook.office365.com
