Mailbird now supports email providers that use IMAP. It is simple, all you need to do is:
- Download Mailbird Lite from the website first
- When the Welcome window shows type in your Name you want displayed in emails, your email address from an IMAP account like Yahoo.com, Outlook.com, Aol.com, etc., log in with your password for that account
- Hit the Connect button
- Mailbird may already have the email settings pre-filled for the email provider you use. If not you can simply Google Search “server settings for [enter name of IMAP email provider]” to get the server info. For example for Outlook.com as your IMAP email provider you would Google Search “outook.com imap smtp server settings”
- Fill out the appropriate server setting fields, test the connection until it is approved. You may have to test the connection with a different encryption like “SSL” or “TLS”.
- Voila! Give Mailbird some time for the first initial sync and you can start emailing away in class
