Many popular e-mail client programs use a standard called Internet Message
Access Protocol (IMAP) for exchanging information. Peter Kiewit Computing
Services provides full support only for BlitzMail, our
Dartmouth-authored e-mail client. However, Computing Services supports the
basic installation and use of Thunderbird, an IMAP compliant e-mail
program by the Mozilla group. Some users prefer other e-mail clients, such as
Apple Mail, Eudora, Outlook, Netscape,
etc., to read their Dartmouth e-mail. This document provides you with the
general information and settings you need to configure other e-mail clients to
access your e-mail account on the Dartmouth e-mail servers. It is important to
note that the only IMAP clients that will work with the Dartmouth mail servers
are those that allow Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
connections.
BlitzMail has already been configured and requires no setup.
Note: Some e-mail clients can be configured to use POP3 or
IMAP settings. For these clients, we recommend you use the IMAP settings
because IMAP keeps your messages on the server and your messages are
automatically backed up. If you elect to use POP3, you need to make sure your
client can be configured to use SSL with POP (SPOP). Unsecured POP3
connections to the Dartmouth e-mail servers will not be allowed.
