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).
