Migrating from Eudora to Thunderbird

There are two simple ways to migrate from Eudora to Thunderbird:

  1. If you are starting up Thunderbird for the very first time, the Import Wizard will pop up, and you can then select the "Eudora" option to import your mail, address books and settings.
  2. Subsequent to launching Thunderbird for the first time, you can also go the the "Tools" menu, select "Import...", and then individually import your mail, address books or settings from Eudora.

Configure Thunderbird to access the Exchange Server

Note: We are ensuring that our email is even more secure by supporting "Secure Socket Layer" (SSL) for our Webmail, POP, IMAP and SMTP servers.

If you need to send or receive email before completing configuration of your local email client, you can still access email through your web browser interface at:

https://exchange.csupomona.edu.
