&lt;p&gt;This documentation is for users and administrators, not those wanting to install.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thunderbird isn&amp;rsquo;t clunky anymore. Lots of investment is going into this great email, calendar, contacts, and more desktop client.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You can download Thunderbird from their &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/download/&#34;&gt;website&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The steps for configuring Thunderbird are practically the same for the major desktop platforms. Use the standard installation options and allow Thunderbird to be your default mail application.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You&amp;rsquo;ll be asked to enter your Federated Core email address. Thunderbird &lt;em&gt;should&lt;/em&gt; auto-configure your settings, but if you need to manually set them up, here is the needed information:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;IMAP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Server: mail.domain.com (where &amp;ldquo;domain.com&amp;rdquo; is your domain name. Example: mail.federated.com.)
Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SMTP&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Server: mail.domain.com (where &amp;ldquo;domain.com&amp;rdquo; is your domain name. Example: mail.federated.com.)
Port: 465
Security: SSL/TLS&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Click &amp;ldquo;Finish&amp;rdquo; and you&amp;rsquo;re ready to send/receive email.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Contacts&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In order to connect Thunderbird to the addresses kept in your Nextcloud application, select the small address book icon in the upper right of Thunderbird to select the &amp;ldquo;Address Book&amp;rdquo; mode.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 45px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/contacts_hu3f50e11abec286e4952ad7a4528a37b7_556_35x31_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;35&#34; height=&#34;31&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then select the drop down to the right and select &amp;ldquo;Add CardDAV Address Book&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 237px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/dropdown_hud9b7dd15a194e1b0e7f027f3d839b054_5872_227x111_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;227&#34; height=&#34;111&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The put in your username (email) for your Federated Core into the &amp;ldquo;New CardDAV Address Book&amp;rdquo; dialog box.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 563px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/information_hu3ff8fd0a4b6d74a9b83260c7195a1731_6487_553x250_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;553&#34; height=&#34;250&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You need to get the link for the &amp;ldquo;Location&amp;rdquo; line. This can be found in Nextcloud. Open a browser, enter the nextcloud.domain.com address for your Federated Core where &amp;ldquo;domain.com&amp;rdquo; is your particular domain name, navigate to the Contacts application, and then Contacts Settings in the lower left of the window. You&amp;rsquo;ll see a window like this:&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 939px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/link_hud5de244a29c056cfb02e50604e481f6c_35107_929x692_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;929&#34; height=&#34;692&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You click on the three dots in the &amp;ldquo;Address books&amp;rdquo; section to see a drop down menu. Select &amp;ldquo;Copy link&amp;rdquo;. That is the link address we need for the &amp;ldquo;Location&amp;rdquo; in the prior dialog box in Thunderbird. You can switch back to Thunderbird and paste the link into the &amp;ldquo;Location&amp;rdquo; section of the dialog box then click &amp;ldquo;Continue&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now Thunderbird will ask you to authenticate to your Nextcloud application.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 528px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/authentication_hufe848b2729d1ea3251199478c550fb01_9409_518x208_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;518&#34; height=&#34;208&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enter your username (email address for Federated Core) and password. Click &amp;ldquo;OK&amp;rdquo; and you should have your Address Book from Nextcloud now connected to Thunderbird.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Calendars&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;These instructions work for any Calendar in your Nextcloud application. You can have Calendars for yourself/personal, decks, task lists, etc.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We will be adding a CalDAV calendar to Thunderbird. First switch to the Calendar mode in Thunderbird by clicking the calendar icon along the right side of the Thunderbird application.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 43px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/calendar_hua1ae1423ef7c8d9f1ede540239c60d60_503_33x35_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;33&#34; height=&#34;35&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You then click the &amp;ldquo;+&amp;rdquo; symbol so that we can add/subscribe to a calendar from Nextcloud.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 334px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/addcal_hud1278df75ee4fc7676720a5e14775de2_3059_324x68_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;324&#34; height=&#34;68&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We choose from the next dialog box to subscribe to a &amp;ldquo;On the Network&amp;rdquo; calendar and click &amp;ldquo;Next&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 505px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/network_hud6f04308bd9eff81815730d953284ecc_8159_495x404_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;495&#34; height=&#34;404&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Now we put in our username (email address).&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 506px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/create_hu9abe794f8179355a52e06d3a0337ebc7_8382_496x402_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;496&#34; height=&#34;402&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In order to find the &amp;ldquo;Location&amp;rdquo; we need to switch to our Nextcloud application and navigate to the &amp;ldquo;Calendar&amp;rdquo; app.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 488px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/nc-calendar_hu51d1ccfbd16db1a8e67685d77fb31e7e_5256_478x59_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;478&#34; height=&#34;59&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You select the calendar you want to subscribe to by clicking on the &amp;ldquo;edit&amp;rdquo; function. Another dialogue box is presented:&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 603px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/privatelink_hu59ff46aee80deb5edbc4c61d2fa54733_15147_593x323_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;593&#34; height=&#34;323&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Click on the &amp;ldquo;Copy private link&amp;rdquo; buttton to copy the desired &amp;ldquo;Location&amp;rdquo; to the clipboard. Now we can go back to Thunderbird and paste the link into the &amp;ldquo;Location&amp;rdquo; box and click &amp;ldquo;Find Calendars&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;When Thunderbird finds the calendar, it will ask us for our password for Nextcloud.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 619px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/password_huf235b6ee719de0df1e57651fb76a2b04_8904_609x186_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;609&#34; height=&#34;186&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Enter your password and then click &amp;ldquo;OK&amp;rdquo;. Now we are asked to subscribe to the calendar.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 505px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/thunderbird/subscribe_hu010d879b6617fca296b816bbddfc9bac_8911_495x402_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;495&#34; height=&#34;402&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Leave the &amp;ldquo;Calendar Type&amp;rdquo; as &amp;ldquo;CalDAV&amp;rdquo; and click &amp;ldquo;Subscribe&amp;rdquo;. Your calendar is now available in Thunderbird.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Docs: Ubuntu-based Distribution</title>
      <link>/docs/client_applications/linux/ubuntu/</link>
      <pubDate>Tue, 30 May 2023 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate>

&lt;div class=&#34;pageinfo pageinfo-primary&#34;&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This documentation is for users and administrators, not those wanting to install.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Connecting your entire Ubuntu-based operations system (such at Ubuntu or Pop OS) is very easy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Open your &amp;ldquo;Settings&amp;rdquo; application and then select the &amp;ldquo;Online Accounts&amp;rdquo; section of &amp;ldquo;Settings&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 232px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/ubuntu/onlineaccounts_hu7232d2ab18ca31c5fa7688d3d1e1bd88_2604_222x46_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;222&#34; height=&#34;46&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You have the option to connect a Nextcloud account from the list.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 631px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/ubuntu/addaccount_hu2b35f73ef15655e68615df97497e0380_24959_621x565_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;621&#34; height=&#34;565&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;When you select &amp;ldquo;Nextcloud&amp;rdquo; you&amp;rsquo;ll be given a dialog box to enter in the specific information for your Federated Core.&lt;/p&gt;


&lt;figure class=&#34;card rounded p-2 td-post-card mb-4 mt-4&#34; style=&#34;max-width: 341px&#34;&gt;
	&lt;img class=&#34;card-img-top&#34; src=&#34;/docs/client_applications/linux/ubuntu/nextcloud_hu235263402ab0f6e16f822cfc1edb7f7d_8188_331x213_resize_catmullrom_3.png&#34; width=&#34;331&#34; height=&#34;213&#34;&gt;
	
	&lt;figcaption class=&#34;card-body px-0 pt-2 pb-0&#34;&gt;
		&lt;p class=&#34;card-text&#34;&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;/figcaption&gt;
	
&lt;/figure&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The &amp;ldquo;Server&amp;rdquo; is &amp;ldquo;&lt;a href=&#34;https://nextcloud.domain.com&#34;&gt;https://nextcloud.domain.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;rdquo; when &amp;ldquo;domain.com&amp;rdquo; is your domain. The &amp;ldquo;username&amp;rdquo; is your email address for your Federated Core. And the &amp;ldquo;Password&amp;rdquo; is your password for Federated Core.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Now your files, email, calendars will &amp;ldquo;automatically&amp;rdquo; work with the applications that are part of your Ubuntu-based distribution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Note: you will have to separately configure Thunderbird. See the documentation for those instructions.&lt;/p&gt;
