Accounts and Identities in Mailbird

Accounts

In Mailbird you can manage multiple email accounts all from one place, part of what makes using an email client and all-in-one communication app really awesome and convenient. Here's how to set it up:

1) Go to the Mailbird menu ("Hamburger" icon) in the top left of the main Mailbird window

2) Select Settings

3) Select the Accounts tab

4) Add an account

That's all! Mailbird is super smart in that it auto-detects all your email server settings so you don't have to worry about the nitty-gritty stuff like figuring out what "port" or "encryption" or the name of the "SMTP server" is.

Identities

In Mailbird you can also have an email account active and send an email from any other different email account that you've created an identity for. Basically, it's like being able to send an email from any email address even when you are working in an inbox of a different email address. Here's how to set it up:

1) Go to the Mailbird menu ("Hamburger" icon) in the top left of the main Mailbird window

2) Select Settings

3) Select the Identities tab

4) Add an identity

5) Test the connection to ensure your settings are correct

Then you are all set to send emails from any identity from any account.
