• 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

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“).

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.

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:

and select the folder

(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:

   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:

   and select the folder

   from your inbox.
   
   For the option:
   → Vorlagen speichern unter: (ENG: “Save templates under”),
   you can adjust these settings, too.
