UW-Physics Email Settings

For security reasons, you are required to use encryption (SSL) accessing email (IMAP) and sending outgoing email (SMTP).

For IMAP, set the port to "993" and click on the "Use SSL" or "Use secure connection (SSL)" check box.

For SMTP, click on the "Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)" check box or the "TLS" radio button under "Use secure connection:" and make sure the port is set to "587".

There are also specific instructions for setting up Thunderbird available.

Please do not hesitate to contact help@physics.wisc.edu if you have any questions about these parameters. Note that you must send mail from a .edu, cern.ch, or desy.demail account.
