Outgoing security: SSL/TLS

Once these settings have been entered, click on Re-test Configuration.

If you have previously configured email accounts in Thunderbird, the Hover outgoing email server needs to be set as your default server for sending messages. Select Outgoing Server (SMTP) from the left hand column, click on your Hover account, and then click on the Set Default button.

To send email, a small adjustment to your outgoing server settings will be required. With the Hover outgoing server select, click on the Edit button.

Type your full Hover email address in the User Name field then click OK.

Your outgoing User Name should now display your full Hover email address. Click OK to save the new settings.

Thunderbird has been configured for your Hover email account and your account folders and messages will start downloading.
