These are the generic settings needed to configure
an e-mail client such as Mozilla/Outlook/Eudora
to work with a medicine.nodak.edu e-mail
account.
If you're using the web-based e-mail
at http://medicine.nodak.edu,
you don't need to worry about configuration
because it's all taken care of for you.
POP/IMAP Server - used for checking e-mail
- Server name:
cyrus.undsmhs.net
- SSL Encryption required on
alternate port (993 for IMAP, 995 for
POP)
- Installing a new e-mail program and not sure
what to chose when asked to decide
between POP and IMAP? The short answer is:
use IMAP. POP is quite limited in what
it can do, and is not very suitable for checking
your account from multiple computers.
SMTP Server - used for sending e-mail
- Server name:
smtp.undsmhs.net
- Authentication required
- Either SSL or TLS Encryption required
- use TLS on port 587 or 25 (25
is being blocked by some ISPs to
fight spam, and can be interfered
with by antivirus software - so 587
is probably preferrable).
- use SSL on port 465
LDAP Server (optional) - used for looking
up addresses
- Server name:
ldap.undsmhs.net
- Base String must be blank, which is the
default in Mozilla & Outlook. In
Eudora the default is "c=us", which
will need to be deleted.
