This step-by-step tutorial will walk you through how to connect your WPX email with the Mozilla Thunderbird Mail Client.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The information used in this tutorial (such as email addresses, server names, and usernames) is for example purposes only<\/strong>. Please make sure to use your own WPX email credentials and server details<\/strong> when following the steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1. Log in to your WPX account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Begin by logging into your WPX account. You can do this by visiting the WPX login page<\/a>.\u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. Go to Control Panel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once logged in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Locate your hosting plan in the WPX client area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Click the Control Panel<\/strong> button next to the plan you wish to manage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    If you have more than five hosting plans of the same type (WordPress, Agency or WooCommerce), not all may appear on the homepage. Use the WordPress Hosting<\/strong>, Agency Hosting<\/strong> or WooCommerce Hosting<\/strong> tab in the left-hand menu to find your service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n

    Step 3. Get your Email Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If you\u2019re already familiar with where to find your email settings, you can skip this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Otherwise:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. In the Control Panel, click on Emails<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Then click the Settings<\/strong> button next to the email address you want to configure.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      Here, you\u2019ll find:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Email server info (incoming\/outgoing servers),<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Email login\/username,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The option to change the password (if needed).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        The Incoming and Outgoing mail servers are the same for all email accounts within a given hosting plan. For example, if your hosting server is s24.wpx.net<\/code>, use that for both the IMAP and SMTP server settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        Some older WPX mailboxes use a different username<\/strong> from the email address, depending on your server. Be sure to use the exact email username<\/strong> provided here when setting up your email client.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

        Step 4: Launch Mozilla Thunderbird<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        With your settings ready, open Mozilla Thunderbird<\/strong> on your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        To add your WPX email account:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Click Email<\/strong> under \u201cLocal Folders\u201d or<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Go to Menu \u2192 New \u2192 Existing Mail Account<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Now that you have the settings for your email box, open Mozilla Thunderbird<\/strong>. From the Local Folders <\/strong>(or another email if you have one set, select Email <\/strong>to create a new account;<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Alternatively, you can use the right-hand side menu \u2192 New \u2192 Existing Mail Account. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Step 5. Enter your Email account details<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          You\u2019ll now be prompted to provide:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Your Name:<\/strong> As you’d like it to appear in sent emails<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Email Address:<\/strong> Your full WPX email address<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Password:<\/strong> The password for this email account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Then, click Continue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

            Step 6. Configure manually<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Thunderbird may attempt to fill in settings automatically, but these are often incorrect. Click Configure Manually<\/strong> to set the details yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Fill in the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            IMAP (Incoming)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • Server:<\/strong> Use the server hostname from Control Panel \u2192 Emails \u2192 Settings \u2192 Email Server Info<\/strong> (e.g., s24.wpx.net<\/code>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Port:<\/strong> 993<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Connection Security:<\/strong> SSL\/TLS<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Authentication:<\/strong> Autodetect or Normal Password<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              SMTP (Outgoing)<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                \n
              • Server:<\/strong> Same as IMAP (e.g., s24.wpx.net<\/code>)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Port:<\/strong> 465<\/code><\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Connection Security:<\/strong> SSL\/TLS<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Authentication:<\/strong> Autodetect or Normal Password<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Once all fields are complete, click Re-Test<\/strong>. If all settings are correct, click Done<\/strong> to finish the setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
                \n
                \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
                \n
                \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

                You\u2019re All Set! If your password is correct and the server info is properly entered, your WPX email account is now connected to Thunderbird.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \"\"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
