This demo assumes you’ve already opened ThunderBird.

Right-click on your account name.

Please click on Settings.

Click on server settings.

Click OK to save.

This is the IMAP account’s settings.

If you are using a POP3 account, it will look similar to this. You changed the port number.

Here are the port settings. You can change it with your custom port number.

To change the port for SMTP, click on outgoing server (SMTP)

Select your account and then click on edit.

Set your custom port number here.

Click on OK to save it.

This is the end of the tutorial. Now you know how to configure custom ports in ThunderBird.
