Outlook 2002
Setting up IMAP and SMTP servers
With SSL encryption
After starting Outlook,
select ‘Tools’, then ‘E-mail Accounts’
Select ‘View or change existing
e-mail accounts’ and then ‘Next’
Either ‘Add’ a new mail
account or select and ‘Change’ the Properties of your already existing account.
You can determine the name
of your servers by typing ‘my-mail-server’ at a command prompt on any of the CS
cluster machines.
Set your ‘Incoming mail server (IMAP)’ and your ‘Outgoing mail server (SMTP)’
servers. I use ‘bear’,
yours can/may be different. Select the
‘More Settings’ button at the lower right corner of this box.
Here you should select
‘Outgoing Server’.
Check ‘My outgoing server (SMTP) requires authentication’ and select
‘Use same settings as my incoming mail server’.
Select the ‘Advanced’ tab
and check the boxes to use SSL-secure connections for both X Incoming and
Outgoing mail servers. The ports should
be 993 and 25 respectively. (You must select TLS for outgoing SMTP server. Selecting SSL will not work.)
I also set
my ‘Server Timeouts’ to 2 minutes 30 seconds, this can be adjusted depending on
you situation, e.g., you have a large number of folders or a large number of
messages in you Inbox. I found 1 minute
too short and my server would disconnect, especially from home. Select ‘OK’.
You should be finish
now. Select ‘Next’.
Select ‘Finish’ and you are
done!
