+# Email introduction
+
+Your account at [[template id=realm]] 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
+
+Webmail is at [[template id=webmailurl]]
+
+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 **[[template id=mailhost]]**, for both incoming and outgoing
+   services.
+ * 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).
+
