Email: IMAP/SMTP Client Settings

DoC Email Settings

Although all DoC mailboxes have been migrated to Exchange, we have left the final state of your old DoC mailbox as it was when we migrated you; we have not gone through and deleted your old DoC mail files.

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.
