# Email introduction

Your account at this system has at least one email address attached.

Additional addresses can be added on request. Some may already be added.

All incoming emails are stored in your account inbox, no matter what email
address was addressed.


## Webmail

(contact your technicians for the location of webmail at this system)

This is ready to use as is - no additional setup required to get started.


## Local email application

"Real" email applications require some configuration to work.

Here's a short summary of the needed setup:

 * Email server is the same for both incoming and outgoing services (contact
   your technicians for the hostname).
 * Incoming email is reachable through **pop3** and **imap**. Imap is
   recommended for most cases.
 * Outgoing email is accepted through secure smtp on port **465** (not the
   regular port 25).
 * You MUST use password **authentication** for all email services (also smtp).
