Email: IMAP/SMTP Client Settings
DoC has traditionally operated its own mail system separately to the rest of the College. Now, we are migrating our users' mailboxes to the College Email system, based on Exchange.
If your email has been migrated to the College Email system then you should use the College settings, otherwise use the DoC settings:
College Email Settings
In any IMAP-capable email client, eg. Thunderbird, Mac Mail, Outlook, create a separate email account with the settings:
- SMTP server: smtp.cc.ic.ac.uk, use port 587, use TLS and authentication.
- IMAP server: icex.imperial.ac.uk, port 993, SSL. Make sure that any trace of the old DoC IMAP folder prefix "~/IMAP" is removed.
DoC Email Settings
If your email has not yet been migrated, use these settings:
Server |
imap.doc.ic.ac.uk |
Use SSL |
Yes |
IMAP port |
993 |
IMAP username |
your username |
IMAP password |
leave blank |
IMAP server directory |
~/IMAP |
Folder subscription |
Auto-subscribe |
Sending/Outgoing DoC Email
We recommend using SMTP authentication with TLS enabled. Within DoC, unauthenticated SMTP to port 25 is permitted. Outside DoC, port 587 can be used to connect with TLS and authentication if port 25 is blocked. For simplicity, always use port 587.
