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.

College Email Settings

If your email has been migrated to the College Email system then you should use these settings, in any IMAP-capable email client, eg. Thunderbird, Mac Mail, Outlook, create a separate email account:

IMAP Server

icex.imperial.ac.uk

Use SSL

Yes

IMAP port

993
This is the standard IMAP SSL port

IMAP username

your username

IMAP password

leave blank
For security, it is better for your client to ask for your password when you initially connect.

IMAP server directory

leave blank

Folder subscription

Auto-subscribe
This varies between clients, but it is best to automatically enable subscription to all mailboxes.

SMTP Server

smtp.cc.ic.ac.uk

Encryption

TLS
Note that this is not the same as SSL. It may also be shown as STARTTLS.

SMTP authentication

Yes

SMTP port

587
This is the message submission port.

SMTP username

your username

SMTP password

leave blank
as above

DoC Email Settings

If your email has not yet been migrated, use these settings, in any IMAP-capable email client, eg. Thunderbird, Mac Mail, Outlook. Note that we automatically customize Thunderbird on both Linux and Windows with these settings on DoC-supported machines:

Server

imap.doc.ic.ac.uk

Use SSL

Yes

IMAP port

993
This is the standard IMAP SSL port

IMAP username

your username

IMAP password

leave blank
For security, it is better for your client to ask for your password when you initially connect.

IMAP server directory

~/IMAP

Folder subscription

Auto-subscribe
This varies between clients, but it is best to automatically enable subscription to all mailboxes.

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.

Server

smtp.doc.ic.ac.uk

Encryption

TLS
Note that this is not the same as SSL. It may also be shown as STARTTLS.

SMTP authentication

Yes

SMTP port

587
This is the message submission port.

SMTP username

your username

SMTP password

leave blank
