Cncz has a page about configuring email at : http://wiki.science.ru.nl/cncz/Categorie:Email?setlang=en.
Below follows a technical summary.
The mail server is post.science.ru.nl. You can access it by using the IMAP protocol. Mail on this IMAP server will be stored on the server and not on your home directory.
For IMAP users :
- mail me when you're switch and than I will ask C&CZ to deliver your new mail to the new email server
- when cncz has changed this, I'll notify you by phone
- make in your email program a new account (keep your old imap account) with the following settings
- imap protocol
- mailserver: post.science.ru.nl
- turn on SSL security (imap than uses port993 )
- imap protocol
- you can make new folders under your Inbox folder, to store mails from your Inbox folder to these new folders using drag and drop.
Remark:
- in short :
- 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
Remarks :
- IMAP uses SSL, but SMTP uses TSL!
- With IMAP you cannot turn SSL off!
- 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.
