Thunderbird is one of the supported e-mail program at Bates College. Thunderbird compliments Information and Library Services desire to have the campus using a safe, secure, robust program capable of handling IMAP'd accounts. Filters for SPAM [PMX:## messages are created and configured in Webmail, rather than in Thunderbird. |
Help Desk Services is pleased to assist all users with the installation, conversion from other e-mail programs, and other processes for making this your default e-mail application.
Users may apply upgrades to Thunderbird as the program prompts for them to be applied. Restarting the application may be necessary for the upgrade to be completed.
