Setting up email
When you start Thunderbird for the first time, type:
- Your full name
- Your e-mail address in the form brukernavn@uio.no
- Your UiO password
Then click on Configure manually.
- The protocol for getting email is IMAP.
- Server hostname is outlook.office365.com with port 143.
- Connection security is STARTTLS.
- Authentication method must be set to OAuth2.
- Enter your username@uio.no in the Username field.
- Note! Thunderbird cannot access the Microsoft 365 Global Address List (GAL) for searching up the email address to an employee or student at UiO.
To be able to send e-mail, you must specify an outgoing e-mail server.
- Enter smtp.office365.com in Server hostname, with port 587.
- STARTTLS as Connection Security.
- Authentication method is OAuth2.
- Enter your username@uio.no in the Username field.
Press the Re-test button to test the setup and finish with Done.
You will now be asked to enter your password in https://adfs.uhad.no:
Do the two-factor authentication with your preferred app:

- Click Add a signature in the Account Setup window.
- Enter the desired signature in the Signature text field.
- Close the window to save the outgoing email signature.
