Email: IMAP/SMTP Client Settings
Many years ago, DoC used to operate its own mail system separately to the rest of the College. In 2011 we migrated all our users' mailboxes to the College Email system, based on Exchange, More recently the whole College email system migrated into the cloud via office365.com.
The @doc.ic.ac.uk mail domain now only exists for backwards compatibility, is run by ICT, and uses 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.ic.ac.uk is sent onto EXISTINGUSER@imperial.ac.uk, and similarly new email sent to LIST@doc.ic.ac.uk is sent onto doc-LIST@imperial.ac.uk..
- Note that new members of DoC since about June 2012 do not have any @doc email addresses, only @imperial ones.
