Mozilla Thunderbird users: proper setup for IMAP on gigo.com

| | Comments (0)

If you are going to use IMAP on gigo.com, and you're going to use Mozilla, I recommend these options:

 

Tools -> Account Settings -> Server Settings -> "When I delete a message" is set to "Move it to the Trash folder"

Tools -> Account Settings -> Outgoing SMTP server -> [your server setting]    -- Set the port number to 587, and enable "TLS if possible".

 

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> General -> Config Editor

   type "mail.imap.expunge_after_delete" and set the value to "true".

   (this will make sure the server actually deletes messages, not just marks them)


 

Restart thunderbird.
