To set up Hostinger Email on Mozilla Thunderbird manually<\/b>, follow this article<\/a><\/b>.<\/p>

\n<\/p>

To set up Hostinger Email on Mozilla Thunderbird automatically<\/b>, make sure that:<\/p>

    \n
  1. \n

    You have created an email account<\/a><\/b> with Hostinger Email<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Your domain is pointed to Hostinger<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    The correct Hostinger Email MX records are added<\/a><\/b> to your domain’s DNS zone<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>

    Then, proceed with the steps below 👇<\/p>

    \n<\/p>

    Step 1 – Add CNAME Records<\/h2>

    To have Mozilla Thunderbird configured automatically, add the following CNAME records<\/a><\/b> to your domain’s DNS zone: <\/p>

    \n\n\n\n\n\n
    \n

    Name (host)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    Target (points to)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    TTL<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n

    autodiscover.domain.tld<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    autodiscover.mail.hostinger.com<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    300<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

    \n

    autoconfig.domain.tld<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    autoconfig.mail.hostinger.com<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

    		\n

    300<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>

    \n

    Make sure to replace the domain.tld<\/b> with your actual domain name 💡 <\/p>\n<\/div>

    After creating the CNAME records, wait up to 24 hours<\/b> for the changes to propagate worldwide<\/a><\/b>. You may use the DNS Checker<\/a> <\/b>tool to check the progress of DNS propagation. Once the propagation is over, go to the next step. <\/p>

    \n<\/p>

    Step 2 –Set Up Your Email Account on Mozilla Thunderbird<\/h2>

    In Mozilla Thunderbird, create a new email account. The procedure may differ depending on your Mozilla Thunderbird version. Make sure to check this article<\/a> <\/b>for detailed guidance. <\/p>

    \n<\/p>

    Once you insert the email address and password, give it some time; 10 minutes is usually enough. After that’s completed, Mozilla Thunderbird will be successfully connected to your mailbox at Hostinger 😊<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
