When to use it
Vivek works on Linux and uses Thunderbird. He sets up IMAP only for this year's mail, so the first sync is quick.
Settings to enter
| Setting | Incoming | Outgoing |

Good to know
- These server names are the same for every XgenPlus customer. Check the spelling, the ports and that your app password is correct.
- Thunderbird can also sign and encrypt with your XgenPlus S/MIME certificate after you import the .p12 file.
Common questions
Thunderbird suggests settings by itself. Can I accept them?
Check them first. XgenPlus has no automatic set-up, so Thunderbird's guess may be wrong. Use the values in the table.
