Setting up WebMail on Thunderbird



When you use free email services like Hotmail, Gmail, etc. They want you to access your inbox through their site to cram you with ads. They have no POP/IMAP servers you can connect to with Thunderbird/Outlook/etc. Now with Thunderbird and WebMail, you can! (I sound like an ad XD )

Sadly, you cannot SEND emails using this. Sorry for not including that.

  1. thanks soooo much it works but i dont get all of your emails can that happen???

  2. i tried everything but i still get
    “negative vibes from …my mail…”
    error message

  3. hey im having a problem when i type in localhost on incoming server and press next it says “please enter a valid hostname”
    also theres another box below the global thing thats called outgoing server…. im confused

  4. thank you SOO MUCH!!!

  5. This is the first tutorial I came across that made me realize to right click and save as then install from Thunderbird. Also this is the only tutorial I have tried that worked, the others show to use Webmail instead of E-Mail account setting!
    Thanks!

  6. I’m very sorry, but it can be anything O_o Maybe it’s your firewall, go on Options and see if you have a green light, that might show if there’s connectivity. Also, double check the video to make sure you entered everything correctly.

  7. can you please help me. I followed this but when i click finish and enter my password it says: “sending of the password did not succeed. mail server localhost responded:negative vibes from (my yahoo email here). what do i do??

  8. Hm….there can be many things happening. Try reinstalling the newest version of webmail, and if that still doesnt work, it might be your firewall. Check your settings on it. If you still have more probs, ill brainstorm some more :-/

  9. hey dude , when I want to load my messages, it loads some of them ,then it says”local host has timed out…”something like this.
    What can I do to fix it ?!

  10. Outlook is not working? Explain a little further, and you can always just uninstall Thunderbird and it should fix any problems IT caused O_o

  11. Whattaa?? my outlook used to work fine now its not working, i actually want this to send emails, i should’ve read the comments before doing the thing.

  12. will actually you can with gmail …. it has both pop3 and imap

  13. This method cannot be used to send emails. so it’s not important. To view emails, just follow these directions and you’ll be fine :D Although I recommend Gmail because they have POP/IMAP so you can now use it fully with thunderbird/outlook.

  14. hey dude whats the outgoing server?

  15. Ok, well thanks any way but I am just gunna go get a gmail account and swich all of my registered stuff to the gmail. :( the yahoo pop and forwarding should have stayed free.

  16. Your right, I should have included that info :(

  17. It wont allow me to send emails though
