Mozilla Thunderbird is preconfigured for all users in their Windows, Linux and Mac OS X accounts in the Department -- this is our recommended mail client. On your laptop, outside the Department, or if you choose to use another mail client, here are the settings you will need. | DoC used to operate its own mail system separately to the rest of the College. Now, we have migrated all our users' mailboxes to the College Email system, based on Exchange, and have recently finished off the remainder of the mail migration. Now the mail servers that receive email destined for XXX@doc.ic.ac.uk are run by ICT, and use a frozen mailmap which essentially maps every XXX@doc email address onto the equivalent @imperial (or offsite) email address. So, for instance, new email sent to EXISTINGUSER@doc is sent onto EXISTINGUSER@imperial [note that new members of DoC since about June 2012 do not have any @doc email addresses, only @imperial ones], and similarly new email sent to LIST@doc is sent onto doc-LIST@imperial.. |

You should enable ''IMAP over SSL'' to ensure that your password is kept secure. Unencrypted IMAP is not supported and may be withdrawn. | If you have a College mailbox then you should use these settings, in any IMAP-capable email client, eg. Thunderbird, Mac Mail, Outlook, create a separate email account: |
