📬 Managing Multiple Email Accounts in Mailbird
Mailbird makes it easy to manage multiple email accounts and identities from one convenient location. Whether you're adding your first account or setting up custom identities, this guide will walk you through each step.
🔗 Connecting Your Email Accounts
One of the best things about using an all-in-one communication app like Mailbird is how simple it is to connect your email accounts. Follow these simple steps to get started:
-
Open the Mailbird menu in the top-left corner (the three horizontal lines).
-
Click on Settings.
-
Navigate to the Accounts tab.
-
Click on Add to connect a new email account.
-
Enter your email credentials in the fields provided.
Once added, your email accounts will appear in the Accounts tab. If this is your first time you're setting up Mailbird, then this section will have previously been blank.
In most cases, Mailbird will automatically detect your IMAP and SMTP settings, so you won’t need to configure them manually. However, if needed, you can follow this guide to enter them yourself.
🧑💼 Setting Up Email Identities
Mailbird also allows you to create email identities. These work like alias email addresses, allowing you to send emails from different email addresses while using a single inbox. Here's how to set them up:
-
Open the Mailbird menu in the top-left corner.
-
Click on Settings.
-
Navigate to the Identities tab.
-
Click on Add to create a new identity.
🧪 Testing Your Identity Settings
To ensure your identity settings are configured correctly, you can test the connection. Here's how:
-
Click on the identity you would like to test.
-
Click on Edit.
-
Click Test Connection at the bottom of the window.
