To configure Mozilla Thunderbird to use Zaep, follow these steps:

1. Start Mozilla Thunderbird.
2. Select "Tools | Account Settings".
3. Select the email account you wish to use Zaep with and then its "Server Settings" category.
4. In the "Server Name" field, enter the IP address or domain name of your Zaep server. If Zaep is installed on the same machine as Thunderbird, you can use 127.0.0.1 (or localhost).
5. Enter the POP3 port number into the "Port" field. The default port number used by Zaep is 1100. Use the value you entered during setup, or whatever value you entered for the POP3 Proxy Port.
6. Change your "User Name" to your actual email address (for example username@domain.com). NOTE: This MUST be the same as the Zaep account name you intend to use.

   

7. Select the "Outgoing Server" category.
8. In the "Server Name" field, enter the IP address or domain name of your Zaep server. If Zaep is installed on the same machine as Thunderbird, you can use 127.0.0.1 (or localhost).
9. Enter the SMTP Server port number into the "Port" field. The default SMTP port number used by Zaep is 2500. Use the value you entered during setup, or whatever value you entered for the SMTP Proxy Port.

   

10. Select the "OK" button when finished.
11. Repeat the above steps for each account you want to configure.
