Thunderbird Email Software

Thunderbird is email software that you download and install on your computer to access and manage your email. It is more efficient and is more responsive than the NACS Webmail service. If you are a Webmail user, be sure to use the IMAP settings below in Thunderbird. This will allow both Webmail and Thunderbird to access your mail folders that reside on the central mail servers.
