"Incoming:"
The "Server hostname" is ssl01.alldomains.hosting.
The "Port" is 993 and for "SSL" please use SSL/TLS.
The "Authentication" is set to Normal password.
"Outgoing:"
The outgoing "Server hostname" is also ssl01.alldomains.hosting.
The used "Port" is 587 .
At the point "SSL" you select STARTTLS and the "Authentication" is also Normal password.
The "Username" for "Incoming" and "Outgoing" is both your e-mail address.
Afterwards you click on "Re-test" to check if the settings are correct.
The "Re-test" might change some of your settings like a "Port" or the "Authentication". If so, please change it back to the values which are shown in the screenshots.
Step 7
After you have made the "Re-test" and checked if all settings are still correct you can finish the setup with the button "Done".
Mozilla Thunderbird is now verifying your data for one last time and if everything is correct, the new e-mail address have been set up.
