The programmers in their infinite (non) wisdom have decided that 'manual config' never gets overridden by the auto domain detection. Since GoDaddy gives you your own email domain with their subscription, when you use said email domain in the field Thunderbird doesn't recognize it, and throws up the error.ĮVEN WHEN YOU MANUALLY OVERRIDE THE SERVER SETTINGS VIA MANUAL CONFIG. The reason? The programmers have decided to use the FIRST email entry field as the key value for Thunderbird to do network discovery. Thunderbird will acknowledge finding the server settings, all as described in the original post.Īt the bottom of EACH server field, IMAP and SMTP, change the login name to your real email address. Use the password field, place your actual password.ĥ) Click TEST.

In your email address you MUST place a fake email that ends in.
