Configuring Yandex Mail in Mozilla Thunderbird

The article describes the step-by-step configuration of Yandex mail in the program Mozilla Thunderbird. The advantages of such products are obvious: high speed and minimal load on the network connection. Such advantages can not boast of an ordinary visit to the electronic box through the browser. Therefore, experienced users use email clients.

Creating a Drawer

Setting up Yandex mail begins with the creation of an electronic mailbox. To register it, you must do the following:

• We go to the following address: yandex.ru.
• In the upper right corner click on the button "Start a box".
• A form will open, in which you will need to specify your personal data, login, password, security recovery question and mobile phone. At the bottom of the screen, enter the captcha and press the button "Start a box".
• After that, you will immediately have access to it. This opens the "Quick Setup" window. It can be closed by clicking the "Later" button, which is located in the lower left corner.

Parameterizing the server

The next step is to configure Yandex mail to install the necessary settings for connecting Mozilla Thunderbird or similar software products. To do this, click the "Settings" button (located in the upper-right corner of the interface, there is a gear on it). In the opened window there will be an inscription "All parameters" on the top - we make a click on it. Next, we need the "Mail programs" item, which is located in the lower right corner. We open it. Here you need to check the box next to "imap.yandex.ru" to allow access to the mailbox from mail clients. Save the changes by clicking the appropriate button.

Installation and configuration of the client

This concludes the external adjustment of Yandex mail. Windows 8 and other operating systems from Microsoft must download the Mozilla Thunderbird installation version via the browser. To do this, enter the following address in its address bar : "mozilla.org/en/thunderbird/", go to this page, click the "Download" button. Then we specify the save location (for example, "Desktop").

After the download is complete, install the version, following the instructions of the wizard. Next, run the program. At the first start, a window will appear, in which we press "Cancel". Right in the work area of the program, select the item "E-mail". At the bottom, click on the "Ignore ..." button. In the window that opens, enter the name, name, mailbox name and password to it, click "Next". Then click on the "Install manually" button. Here you need to change two fields. The first one is "Inbox". Then we set it in the drop-down list "IMAP" and next to it we enter "imap.yandex.ru". Then you configure the outgoing Yandex mail. To do this, in the next line, select "SMTP" and enter "smtp.yandex.ru".

You also need to install encryption to protect against hacking. To do this, set the "SSL" parameter in both lines to "SSL / TLS". After that, click "Test". After the connection is established, the "Done" button will become active. If this does not happen, then close the window and start again with a click on the item "E-mail". Click on this button and go to the main work area. Here in the upper left corner, click on "Get". The program automatically downloads the letters.
