As soon as all the desired entries have been entered, click "OK" to confirm your entry.

Set Up Thunderbird

After Thunderbird has been downloaded and installed, select "Local Folders". There you can now see the "View Settings for this account" which you use to manage the accounts. The new e-mail is now added above this.

In the newly opened window, click on the "Account Actions" dropdown menu. Then click on then "Add Mail Account" button.

You now enter the desired name, how the mailbox should be listed at Thunderbird, as well as the e-mail address just created and the generated or imagined password.

Then you can confirm the entries with the "Done" Button.

As soon as the mail has been created, you can select it from Thunderbird and click on "Write a new message".

There you now enter the recipient, the subject, and the text.

Certificate is missing

If no certificate has yet been created on the web space for the mail, you will not be able to avoid the following error message. There you can initially "Confirm Security Exception", until a valid SSL certificate has been created on the web space.
