Fetching e-mails from Hotmail, Gmail and PerdanaMail to your Thunderbird

Sorry for my late post. Basically, the settings for hotmail is the same with the setting for Yahoo!Mail. You just have to install another extension for your hotmail from here.

When you choose to create a new account, there's an option for GMail users. Select that and follow the instructions given. You should have no problems with that.

For PerdanaMail, the setting given by UMCTES is incorrect. However, you can only fetch email from PerdanaMail. I'm still figuring out the setting for sending out emails by using PerdanaMail.

1. Next, go to Tools>>Account Setting
2. Select Add Account
3. Choose the option "Web Mail"

4. Fill in your name and your e-mail address (wilander@perdana.um.edu.my) as shown below.

5. Next, fill-up the username section with your perdanamail address. (e.g. wilander@perdana.um.edy.my)

6. You have successfully created your account. Next, scroll down and look for Outgoing Server (SMTP).

7. Select Add and fill-in the blank with the same configuration as shown below.

8. Select your Perdana Mail Account and change your Outgoing Server to "PerdanaMail - smtp1.um.edu.my"

9. Next, select server settings and fill "ummail.um.edu.my" for the server name.
