The server supports both IMAP and Web-Based email access. All account settings are administered via the Web-Based interface regardless of which protocol you use to read and send email.

Our services are fully compliant with current email standards.

IMAP

If you are using an email client like Thunderbird (our primary, tested client), Outlook, or Apple's Mail, you will use IMAP.

Eudora users can obtain support from Qualcomm, the product vendor.

Incoming Mail Server:	mail.alumni.caltech.edu
Outgoing Mail Server:	mail.alumni.caltech.edu
Username/Login Name:	username
Email Address:	username@alumni.caltech.edu
Reply To Address:	username@alumni.caltech.edu

Incoming and outgoing connections are encrypted to protect your privacy.

For the IMAP settings, select "use SSL" and port 993.

For the SMTP settings, select "use TLS" (if available) and port 25 or port 587. Do not select "use SSL." Note: If you are using Apple's Mail program, you must select "use SSL." Use port 587 if your ISP blocks port 25.

Select "use name and password" (or "authentication") and use the same username and password. Do not select "Secure Password Authentication" - if it was selected, unselect it.

For help setting up your email client, contact email@alumni.caltech.edu.
