To setup you Mailbird client, you should first find the incoming server information provided by your forwarding address.
For example, if you use Gmail, you will need their POP/IMAP settings. Once you have your incoming server settings on hand, you can begin setting up Mailbird for your Pobox account.
Enter the following:
Your name: This should be the name you would like to see on your mail account.
Email: This is your @pobox.com address or an address or an address at your personal domain.
Click "Continue" when you're done.
On the next window click "Edit server settings".
You will be redirected to the incoming and outgoing server settings where you can input the following:
Incoming server:
Server type: IMAP
Server name: imap.gmail.com
Port: 993
Encryption: SSL/TLS
Username: The forwarding address used on your Pobox account (where your mail forwards to).
Password: The password or application specific password used for your forwarding address
Outgoing server:
SMTP server: smtp.pobox.com
Port: 587

Click "Continue" when you're done.
