-
You can access your email at the facility from any remote location
using your favorite mail reader by utilizing protocol called IMAP
(or IMAPS for the secure version which we support).
Most modern email readers (mutt, pint, evolution, eudora, outlook,
etc.) support this protocol.
You can use this protocol from any machine in the facility as well,
however it is faster to use the local configuration instead.
- Configuration
- server type: imap
- imap server: imaps.physics.cornell.edu
- use SSL
- password authentication
- outgoing smtp server: authsmtp.physics.cornell.edu
- use TLS
- password authentication
- outgoing mail on the facility: use sendmail
- Examples: Evolution, Thunderbird
- SSL
Security is a priority, therefore only encrypted connections
are allowed. Upon the first connection to the server you will be
presented with the fingerprint of the encryption key.
You must accept the certificate to contnue.
The signature is labeled as BAD, which only means that it has
not been verified by VeriSign or similar entity that guarantees
the authenticity of the certificates (we did not pay for this).
