Thunderbird is the *best* self-sovereign client for email, calendar, contacts on all the desktop platforms. No big company is spying on your data. While there *are* other clients your can use, we *strongly* recommend Thunrderbird.

Thunderbird isn't clunky anymore. Lots of investment is going into this great email, calendar, contacts, and more desktop client.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can download Thunderbird from their [website](https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/download/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You'll be asked to enter your Federated Core email address. Thunderbird *should* auto-configure your settings, but if you need to manually set them up, here is the needed information:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**IMAP**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Server: mail.domain.com (where "domain.com" is your domain name. Example: mail.federated.com.)
|
||
|
|
Port: 993
|
||
|
|
Security: SSL/TLS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**SMTP**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Server: mail.domain.com (where "domain.com" is your domain name. Example: mail.federated.com.)
|
||
|
|
Port: 465
|
||
|
|
Security: SSL/TLS
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Click "Finish" and you're ready to send/receive email.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Contacts**
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
![]()
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Calendars**
|
