Version 78 or later of Thunderbird is required. Any copies that have not been updated for a number of years might not have an 'OAUTH2' setting available in the windows below. This guide also assumes your copy of Thunderbird is at least close to being up-to-date. This guide is specifically for current Purdue users of Thunderbird who are migrating the accounts already set up in Mozilla Thunderbird. The TalkTalk Mail Support Hub is your go to resource for information, guides and Community support for TalkTalk Consumer home broadband and MailPlus subscribers.Converting an existing Thunderbird setup for Microsoft MFA Second is that your emClient POP3 account setup should be as follows:įor a definitive check of email settings take screenshots of the incoming and outgoing server settings, image edit to obscure the first part of the email address and upload here using the Camera icon (desktop browser) or Picture icon (mobile browser) above this reply area. The IMAP settings on setting up should be as below where the Username is your tiscali email address. POP3 uses the same settings except for the incoming port that's 995. The only problem I have now is that when I enter the right settings, I have over 15,000 emails (5 years worth) still in my Tiscali account which Thunderbird starts downloading - I had to shut down my PC eventually so I could go to bed! I thought POP3 deleted emails after accessing them, in which case, why are they all still there? I'm now thinking that I should probably use IMAP instead so that I can sort through this mountain quicker and actually delete from the server all the emails I don't want? (I only want to keep a few dozen)įirst thing, is Thunderbird set up as an IMAP account or a POP3 account? You see where it says Protocol and that has a drop down selector to select IMAP or POP3.

Of course, I still needed to switch to the settings you gave me rather than using the .uk legacy settings. It turned out that, although I'm using a password manager, the problem was actually due to using the wrong password I noticed that the password used by emClient (which was working) had 20 characters but the one I have saved in my password manager (which I tried with Thunderbird and Windows Mail) had only 16 characters. Hi Gondola, thank you for your help with this.
