Configuring Exchange on Thunderbird
PLEASE NOTE:
These instructions were tested in Thunderbird version 24.1.1 and may differ for other versions.
Additionally, the full version of Outlook and/or Outlook Web Access are recommended over
Thunderbird for users who prefer to have built-in functionality for calendaring, folder management,
and access to the global address book.
Follow the instructions below to set up Thunderbird to receive your OSU Exchange email.
A.
1. Open Thunderbird
2. Go to Options and click on Account Settings
3. Under Account Actions on the bottom-left, select 'Add Mail Account'
4. Fill in the Name field (This part is just a matter of personal preference)
5. Enter in your first.last@oregonstate.edu into the Email field and type in your password below.
6. Click on the 'Continue' Button on the bottom-right and Thunderbird will attempt to automatically detect your
server settings. This process usually fails so you may need to enter the following information manually:
Incoming settings:
Select IMAP from the dropdown menu
Type exmail.oregonstate.edu in the server hostname box
Select 993 from the Port dropdown menu
Select SSL/TLS from the SSL dropdown menu
Select Normal Password from the Authentication dropdown menu
Outgoing settings:
Type mail.oregonstate.edu in the server hostname box
Select 587 from the Port dropdown menu
Select STARTTLS from the SSL dropdown menu
Select Normal Password from the Authentication dropdown menu
Username field:
Enter your domain, followed by a backslash ("\"), followed by your user name
Note: If you don't know your domain, username, or password, you can contact your Department
Computer Administrator for help.
7. Once finished, all of the settings should look like this:
8. Now click the Advanced Config button. This will open up the Thunderbird settings window shown below:

selected
11. Click the Edit button
12. Remove everything in the User Name field and put in your ONID user name instead:
13. Click OK when you are finished, then OK again to close the main settings window
Note: When you attempt to send your first email message, Thunderbird will prompt you for your ONID
password. Enter that in and you should be good to go.
It may take a while for Thunderbird to download your mail if you have a large mailbox or slower network connection. If your
mail doesn't appear at first, give it some time to catch up. After a few minutes your mailbox should load.
