Title: Thunderbird not conecting to tormail email account HELP!
Post by: Dazzy on June 27, 2012, 02:25 pm
Every time i open Thinderbird, it just says it "failed to connect to server, cannot access myaddress@tormail.org" 

Its probably just some settings that i need to change but i dont know what they are.  could someone please give me some advice?!

I am using a mac by the way.

Thank you in advancee!

Hi. I tried to get Tormail working with thunderbird at first; if you google you will get some suggestions. But have you considered that syncing your Tormail with mail application on your mac kind of defeats some of the object of having an anonymous tormail account. On the whole I decided it was more secure to only access my Tormail through Tor browser bundle itself. If you need to use gpg encryption there are plenty of stand alone GPG apps that you can just copy paste to and from. Try GPG4USB or GPA

I think that is better too.

To solve that problem, you need to install the Vidalia Browser Bundle, which you can find at: https://www.torproject.org/dist/vidalia-bundles/vidalia-bundle-0.2.2.37-0.2.19-i386.dmg
Mister Guru, you can get same by using onion tor project, think it's better for privacy:
