On mobile devices you might need to install a “mail client” app. We recommend K-9 Mail. On a desktop you could try Mozilla Thunderbird.

-

When configuring these applications you will need to provide them with IMAP and SMTP settings. Your IMAP and SMTP server is the box’s hostname. For IMAP, you must choose SSL and port 993. For SMTP, you must choose STARTTLS and port 587.

+

Configure your device as follows:

-

Josh’s IMAP and SMTP server are box.occams.info. (You can’t use mine!)

+ + + + +
Server Name: Your box’s hostname.
Username: The complete email address you provided when you ran the setup program earlier.
Password: The password you gave the email address during the setup program earlier.
-

Your username for IMAP and SMTP is the email address you entered when you ran the setup program above, the same as with webmail.

+

Depending on your mail program, you will either use IMAP & SMTP or Exchange ActiveSync:

+ + + + + + + +
Protocol Port Options
IMAP 993 SSL
SMTP 587 STARTTLS
Exchange ActiveSync n/a Secure Connection
see list of compatible devices for Exchange ActiveSync
