General Configuration Options
Thunderbird provides many different user configuration options that
allow you to set up your mail the way you want. To review these options:
- In Thunderbird for Windows, select
Options from the Tools menu.
- In Thunderbird for the Macintosh, select the
Preferences command from the Thunderbird
menu.
Server Settings
To configure how often Thunderbird will look for new mail, select
Account Settings from the Tools menu, then
select Server settings. The default setting is 10 minutes. You
can change it to one minute by changing the time next to Check for new
messages every ___ minutes. Note that, unlike BlitzMail,
Thunderbird does not automatically refresh your In Box when new
messages are received.
DND Name Lookup
To configure Thunderbird to read the DND when you look up a
name:
- Click the Address Book icon.
- Select New, then LDAP directory from the
File menu. The Directory Server Properties window will appear.
Enter the following information in the appropriate fields:
- Name: Dartmouth LDAP
- Hostname: ldap.dartmouth.edu
- Base DN: dc=dartmouth,dc=edu
- Port number: 389
- Click OK.
- Close the Address Book.
- Next, select Account Settings from the
Tools menu.
- Click Composition & Addressing under the
Addressing section, then click Use a different LDAP
server and select Dartmouth LDAP in the pop-up
window.
- Click OK.
