Important:
Please have in mind that the instructions below apply only to Dedicated
Server customers. It is assumed that you have the Plesk Control Panel
and the email accounts are already created. If not, here is how you can
achieve this:
There
are two more settings you have to setup in Plesk to ensure that your
email account will work properly:
- Go
to Server
>> Mail >> Preferences >>
Relaying. Select the authorization
is required radio button and then the SMTP check box.
- Go
to Modules
>> Firewall >> Edit Firewall Configuration.
If the SMTP
(mail sending) server is NOT enabled (green), click on it,
then select Allow and
click OK. Finally,
click Activate.
Here
is how to configure the Thunderbird email client to use with email
accounts you have created on your Dedicated Server:
1.
Open
Thunderbird, and from the Tools menu select Account
Settings.
2.
Click
the Add Account button.
3.
Select
Email Account and click Next.
4.
Enter
your name and complete email address and
click Next. Please make sure
to replace yourdomain.com in
all examples below with a domain
name you host on your Dedicated Server.
5.
Select
POP as type of incoming server.
Incoming and
Outgoing Server should be: mail.yourdomain.com.
Optional: you can replace mail.yourdomain.com with your Dedicated Server IP Address.
Click
Next.
6.
Enter
your complete email address in both the Incoming
and Outgoing User Name text
fields. Click Next.
7.
Enter
a name for this email account and click Next.
8.
You
will now see a confirmation screen. If everything is correct, click Finish.
9.
The
Outgoing Server (SMTP) Name is mail.yourdomain.com.
- Set
the Port to 25.
- Check
the Use name and
password box. The User
Name is the same as your email address.
- Select
the No
radio button for Use
secure connection.
10.
