<h1>Thunderbird</h1>
<div class="lead">Thunderbird is the <em>best</em> self-sovereign client for email, calendar, contacts on all the desktop platforms. No big company is spying on your data. While there <em>are</em> other clients your can use, we <em>strongly</em> recommend Thunrderbird.</div>

<div class="pageinfo pageinfo-primary">
<p>This documentation is for users and administrators, not those wanting to install.</p>
</div>
<p>Thunderbird isn&rsquo;t clunky anymore. Lots of investment is going into this great email, calendar, contacts, and more desktop client.</p>
<p>You can download Thunderbird from their <a href="https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/download/">website</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>You&rsquo;ll be asked to enter your Federated Core email address. Thunderbird <em>should</em> auto-configure your settings, but if you need to manually set them up, here is the needed information:</p>
<p><strong>IMAP</strong></p>
<p>Server: mail.domain.com (where &ldquo;domain.com&rdquo; is your domain name. Example: mail.federated.com.)
Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS</p>
<p><strong>SMTP</strong></p>
<p>Server: mail.domain.com (where &ldquo;domain.com&rdquo; is your domain name. Example: mail.federated.com.)
Port: 465
Security: SSL/TLS</p>
<p>Click &ldquo;Finish&rdquo; and you&rsquo;re ready to send/receive email.</p>
<p><strong>Contacts</strong></p>
<p>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 &ldquo;Address Book&rdquo; mode.</p>

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

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

<p>Enter your username (email address for Federated Core) and password. Click &ldquo;OK&rdquo; and you should have your Address Book from Nextcloud now connected to Thunderbird.</p>
<p><strong>Calendars</strong></p>
<p>These instructions work for any Calendar in your Nextcloud application. You can have Calendars for yourself/personal, decks, task lists, etc.</p>
<p>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.</p>
