Configure Mozilla Thunderbird with POP3
Use Mozilla Thunderbird to write email on your PC or Mac, reply to email, and sort email yourself. How to configure Mozilla Thunderbird so that you can retrieve your emails from your eclipso mailbox via POP3 can be found here. POP3 is suitable for anyone who wants to download unsorted emails from our servers and sort them themselves.
If you want to pre-sort incoming emails in your eclipso mailbox, we recommend that you change the account type so that you can use IMAP. With IMAP you can synchronize your e-mails to all devices and thus have the same status everywhere.
