Open the atbridge extension settings

Already installed atbridge.ai? Everything you configure lives in the atbridge Settings page. The quickest way there is two clicks from the AI Chat — no digging through Thunderbird’s menus.

Opening the atbridge.ai settings in Thunderbird: click the @b button in the activity bar to open the atbridge AI Chat, then click the gear icon to open the atbridge.ai Settings page on the Status panel.
  1. Click the @b button in Thunderbird’s activity bar (the icon strip down the left) to open the atbridge AI Chat next to your mail.

  2. In the AI Chat, click the ⚙ gear icon at the top right. The atbridge.ai Settings page opens in a new tab, on the Status panel.

The left-hand menu groups everything:

  • Status — is atbridge.ai connected to Thunderbird and your plan healthy? Start here if something’s off.
  • License — activate this device or start a free trial (auto-detects your Thunderbird accounts; no key needed).
  • AI providersconnect the AI you’ll chat with (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Ollama, …). Your key is encrypted on this device. → Connect your AI
  • MCP setup — point an external app (Claude Desktop, an IDE) at atbridge.ai instead. → How your AI connects
  • Preferences — defaults the AI Chat uses (which account to send from, which calendar, tone).
  • Prompt library — save reusable prompts for mail and calendar.
  • Skill settings — your working hours/days and which skills show in the chat.
  • Branded Email theme — your colours, font, logo, and signature for Branded Email.
  • Templates — your saved Branded Email layouts.
  • Versions — what’s installed and whether an update is available.
  • Advanced — power-user toggles.
