| Cncz has a page about configuring email at : http://wiki.science.ru.nl/cncz/Categorie:Email?setlang=en.
| |
| | |
| You use email directly using a '''webmail''' client : [http://squirrel.science.ru.nl http://squirrel.science.ru.nl].
| |
| ==== Intro ====
| |
| | |
| Email works with two servers :
| |
| * a receiving server which you can access using the IMAP protocol.
| |
| * a sending server which you can access using the SMTP protocol.
| |
| | |
| Note: all email will be stored on the receiving (IMAP) server and not on your home directory.
| |
| | |
| ==== Configuring Email client ====
| |
| | |
| #make in your email program a new account with the following settings <br>
| |
| #*'''IMAP''' protocol<br>
| |
| #*mailserver: '''post.science.ru.nl'''
| |
| #*turn on '''SSL''' security (IMAP than uses port '''993''' )
| |
| # add in your email program a new sending (SMTP) server :
| |
| #*'''SMTP'''-server : '''smtp.science.ru.nl'''
| |
| #*Turn '''TLS''' on! Authentication is only allowed if TLS is used. Sometimes this is called STARTTLS (Eudora) or SSL (Outlook, Pine).
| |
| #*port : '''25'''<br>
| |
| #In your email client you can now make new folders under your Inbox folder. These new folders can be used to store mails from your Inbox folder by using drag and drop.
| |
| | |
| ====Remarks====
| |
| | |
| *IMAP uses SSL, but SMTP uses TSL! <br>
| |
| *With IMAP you cannot turn SSL off! <br>
| |
| *With SMTP you can turn TLS off and it then still works on port 25. However when TLS is turned of authentication is disabled and you will be disallowed to connect to the SMTP server when you are outside the university network. SMTP can use TLS or not!
| |
| *For SMTP I advice to always keep TSL turned on.<br>
