Mozilla Thunderbird 2

Important!!!
These settings only apply to email addresses hosted by Ashland Home Net.
If you use a web-based mail service (Yahoo, Gmail, Hotmail, etc.) you will need to obtain the proper settings from them.

In Thunderbird, click Tools, and select Account Settings.


Click Add Account


Select Email Account, and click Next.


Enter your name and email address, and click Next.


If this is the only computer you will access your mail from, the server type will be POP.
If you plan on checking your mail from multiple computers, the server type will be IMAP.

Fill in the information for your incoming server. For @opendoor.com, and custom domains previously hosted by Open Door Networks, the incoming server is mailx.opendoor.com.

For all other domains the incoming server is mail.domain. So, for @ashlandhome.net, the incoming server is mail.ashlandhome.net.

Fill in the information for the outgoing server. For @opendoor.com, and custom domains previously hosted by Open Door Networks, the outgoing server is mailx.opendoor.com.

For all other domains the outgoing server is mail.domain. So, for @ashlandhome.net, the outgoing server is mail.ashlandhome.net.

Click Next.


Your User Name is the first part of your email address.


The Account name is for your own reference. Enter whatever you want to call this mail account.
Click Next.


Click Finish.


You will be prompted for your password the first time you check your mail.
If you need to set up multiple accounts, contact Tech Support 488-9207, as the procedure is a little different.
