Thunderbird, Windows & Macintosh
These are the Email settings to use on computers connected directly to
the ECE network.
See the bottom of this page for the additional settings needed for off
campus connections.
When first run, Thunderbird will present the account setup screens.
They can also be accessed manually from the Tools menu.
Choose Account Settings, and select Add Account.
The setup screens are self explanatory, just fill in your account
information and click Finish on the last screen.
When prompted for the incoming and outgoing servers use
mail.ece.ucsb.edu for both.
You can use the following images as a guide.
After clicking "Finish" you must make some additional settings.
From the Tools menu choose Account Settings and select "Server
Settings" as shown below.
Select "Use secure connection (SSL)". The port number should
automatically change to 993.
If you will be connecting to the
ECE Email server from off campus you will need to change the outgoing
server setting.
Select "Outgoing Server (SMTP)".
Select the TLS button. Change the Port number to 587.
Select "Use name and password", and enter your user name.
