= 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. == College Email Settings == 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: || '''IMAP Server''' || outlook.office365.com || || '''Use SSL''' || Yes || || '''IMAP port''' || 993 <
> ~-This is the standard IMAP SSL port-~ || || '''IMAP username''' || ''your college username@ic.ac.uk'' || || '''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.office365.com || || '''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 college username''@ic.ac.uk || || '''SMTP password''' || ''leave blank'' <
> ~-as above-~ ||
