Mozilla Thunderbird configuration
Thunderbird auto-detects vne.email's configuration. Just enter your email + password, and every other setting fills in automatically.
Quick method (auto-config)
- Open Thunderbird → File → New → Existing Mail Account
- Enter your display name, email, and mailbox password
- Click Continue — Thunderbird reads
autoconfig.<your-domain>and shows the correct IMAP+SMTP setup - Click Done
If Thunderbird shows "Configuration could not be verified — let's verify manually", your domain doesn't have the autoconfig CNAME record yet. Continue with the manual steps below.
Manual setup
Click Configure manually and enter:
Incoming (IMAP)
| Hostname | mail.vne.email |
|---|---|
| Port | 993 |
| Connection security | SSL/TLS |
| Authentication | Normal password |
| Username | your full email address |
Outgoing (SMTP)
| Hostname | mail.vne.email |
|---|---|
| Port | 587 |
| Connection security | STARTTLS |
| Authentication | Normal password |
| Username | same email + password |
Advanced options
Sieve filter (server-side mail filtering)
Install the Sieve add-on (manual install — it's listed under a different name on the Thunderbird Marketplace), pointing to:
| Hostname | mail.vne.email |
|---|---|
| Port | 4190 |
| Connection | STARTTLS |
App-password authentication (no OAuth2)
vne.email authenticates IMAP/SMTP with app passwords — issued per device and revocable at any time from Settings, which makes them as safe as OAuth2 for this purpose. Thunderbird and other clients simply use «Normal password».
Common issues
"Configuration could not be verified"
Usually caused by the autoconfig CNAME record not having propagated yet. Wait 15 minutes or configure manually using the settings above.
"Login to server timed out"
Check that your firewall allows outbound TCP 993 (IMAPS) and 587 (SMTP submission). Some corporate networks block these ports.
