Email: IMAP/SMTP Client Settings
DoC used to operate its own mail system separately to the rest of the College. Now, we have migrated all our users' mailboxes to the College Email system, based on Exchange, and have recently finished off the remainder of the mail migration. Now the mail servers that receive email destined for XXX@doc.ic.ac.uk are run by ICT, and use 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 is sent onto EXISTINGUSER@imperial [note that new members of DoC since about June 2012 do not have any @doc email addresses, only @imperial ones], and similarly new email sent to LIST@doc is sent onto doc-LIST@imperial..
