  • In the Email address field, enter your Internode email address, e.g., username@internode.on.net
  • In the Password field, enter your Internode password.
• Click on Continue.

Step 4

• Thunderbird will attempt to discover your settings automatically.Confirm that the settings are as below:
  • IMAP - Access folders and messages from multiple computers (recommended)
  • Username: your Internode username.
  • Incoming: mail.internode.on.net, IMAP, 993, SSL/TLS
