How To Link gmail With Mozilla Thunderbird Through IMAP
Have a problem? Ask in the forum: www.mob3.co.uk or the live chat: www.mob3.co.uk Here I talk about linking gmail with Mozilla Thunderbird. Some people show how to connect through POP but its much better to connect through IMAP. gmail: mail.google.com Thunderbird: www.mozilla.com
Thanks for making this video. I was having trouble setting up gmail in thunderbird but your tutorial solved all my problems.
Why did you change the imap and smtp ports from 143 to 993 and 25 to 587? Arent imap servers typically on port 143 and smtp servers on port 25?
thanks. I was searching for Thunderbird/Gmail tutorial.

It’s true that there’s a risk but I believe it’s a risk we all take for granted – how many of us use Google as our (only) search engine?
The argument about web-based email is that there’s a filthy-rich company out there willing to provide you with free email. Otherwise we would be stuck with snail mail and Telnet, and even those have third parties. I believe that Gmail is a Good Thing as it is a very nice application which does its job very well, but I have securer alternatives (University).
Certainly not, although it’s the usual security-easiness debate, and there’s no simple answer. My answer to this is: If you do online transactions or have confidential information on emails, then having the information in two places makes it less secure and so one should not do this. If you use your Gmail to send out funny pictures or chat with random people, then perhaps it’s more acceptable. If the computer is public, then certainly not. In other words, you have to decide yourself.
I like to have a beer with .. Duncan’s videos. **But with regard to Duncan’s enthusiastic recommendation for GMail, my computer geek friend said he doesn’t trust GMail, and all things tied to Google. But he uses them both–in moderation–because he’s careful what he types into his gmail emails. A fear is that ONE single organization would have ALL of a person’s life on computer file. So, Duncan, what do you think? What does everyone think?
