Mozilla Thunderbird

Requirements

  • Operation System: Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS or Linux
  • E-Mail Client: Mozilla Thunderbird 45 or newer
  • You own an e-mail account in the Exchange System of the Jade University

First Start of Thunderbird After the Installation

During the first start after installation, an assistant starts to help you set up your Exchange account. Select the point Überspringen und meine existierende E-Mail-Adresse verwenden (ENG: „Skip and use existing e-mail-address“).

Setting Up A New E-Mail Account

Basic Account Set-Up

After making the appropriate selection on the first page, basic information are requested for the e-mail account that is being set up.

First enter your own name in the Your name field, followed by your E-mail address (usually first name.last name@jade-hs.de or first name.last name@student.jade-hs.de).

Type in your password, which you use to log into your Exchange account.

After input / confirmation (Button: Weiter [ENG: „Next“]) of the information, the assistant searches online for the server settings of the e-mail account.



The assistant is not capable of recognising all settings correctly. This is why you need to correct them by clicking on the button Manuell bearbeiten (ENG: „Edit manually“).













The following details are to be adapted accordingly:

  1. Inbox-Server:
    • Type: IMAP
    • Server-Address: mail.jade-hs.de
    • Port: 143
    • SSL: STARTTLS
    • Authentification: Password, normal

  2. Outbox-Server:
    • Type: SMTP
    • Server-Address: mail.jade-hs.de
    • Port: 587
    • SSL: STARTTLS
    • Authentification: Password, normal

  3. Username (PC-login) in the form loginname@hs-woe.de (e.g. ma1234@hs-woe.de)

After these entries have been confirmed with Fertig (ENG: „Done“), Thunderbird starts the e-mail account that has been set up.

For an optimal use of the e-mail functions, some further settings need to be made.

Account settings for the storage of deleted or sent emails and drafts

Right-click on your account and select Einstellungen (ENG: „Settings“) from the context menu.









In the window Konto-Einstellungen (ENG: „Account Settings“), change the area of options:

If necessary, correct the option

go to settings

and select the folder
Gelöschte Elemente
(ENG: „Deleted Items“) from your inbox


Next, change the area of options:
Kopien & Ordner (ENG: „Copies and Folders“)

There, the options should be adapted as in the following:

  1. Beim Senden von Nachrichten automatisch (ENG: „Automatically, when sending a message“)
    Activate the option:
    Eine Kopie speichern unter: (ENG: „Save a copy under“)

    make the selection
    Anderer Ordner: (ENG: „Different Folder“)

    and select the folder
    Gesendete Elemente (ENG: „Sent Items“)
    from your inbox.

  2. Message Archive (optional)
    deactivate the option:
    Archiv speichern unter: (ENG: “Save archive under”).

  3. Entwürfe und Vorlagen (ENG: “Drafts and Templates”)
    For the option:
    Entwürfe speichern unter: (ENG: “Save drafts under”)

    make the selection
    Anderer Ordner: (ENG: “Different Folder”)

    and select the folder
    Entwürfe (ENG: “Drafts”)
    from your inbox.

    you can adjust these settings, too.

Subscribing to IMAP-Folders out of the Inbox

If you are missing individual folders from your mailbox in your folder list, they may still need to be subscribed to.


To do this, right-click on your mailbox and select Abonnieren (ENG: “Subscribe”) in the context menu.
