Problems with Thunderbird

The Thunderbird account settings should be done automatically on UiB computers run by the IT department, according to who is logged on to the computer. If this is not working, or if you have another problem in Thunderbird, you may try to shut down the program and run the Thunderbird fix. (Windows: Start - Support - Reset Thunderbird). Be aware that if you have made your own settings inside the program, these may have to be redone afterwards.

You may also look for a solution in a FAQ, the Mozilla project or by a general web search.

If you need help, please register an issue in https://bs.uib.no or call BRITA on (555) 84700.
