-[[Mail Setup]] 
- 
-On this page you can find information on how to configure your local mail client to access mail from your SLUUG membership account on our mail server. 
-Using the new mail servers must be enabled by a system admin on a request basis until we have honed out the bugs. Once the system has become stable all users will be migrated. 
- 
-Note to AT&T (SBC Global) customers: AT&T networks block smtp outbound connections (SMTP) to servers other than their own. This has been effective in eliminating spam bots from their networks. Output from the bots is silently dropped to outside servers making the bots useless for sending spam. This is probably going to become more wide spread among the major ISPs in the future. If you follow the instructions for using [[smtp_authentication]] you will be using port 465 which is allowed, as it typically requires name & password or public key authentication. 
- 
-===== Supported Protocols ===== 
-We offer POP3, IMAP, Secure Pop3 and Secure IMAP. In addition we have SMTP Auth enabled via TLS to eliminate becoming a spam or virus relay. This also allows you to send mail to email addresses outside of SLUUG if you authenticate.

-[[http://​www.mozilla.com/​en-US/​thunderbird/​|Thunderbird - Reclaim your inbox]] +
- +
-Excerpt from : [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Mozillathunderbird| Wikipedia]] +
- +
-Mozilla Thunderbird is a free, cross-platform e-mail and news client developed ​by the Mozilla Foundation. The project strategy is modeled after Mozilla Firefox, ​a project aimed at creating ​a web browser. Just as Firefox aims to redefine ​the web browser, Thunderbird is a refinement of the mail and news interface. On December 7, 2004, version 1.0 was released, and received over 500,000 downloads in its first three days of release (and 1,000,000 in 10 days). As of 2007, Thunderbird has been downloaded more than 50 million times since 1.0 release. +

-====Create New Account==== +
-Once you have Thunderbird installed you can create ​the new account. Select "​__E__dit"​ then "​__A__ccount Settings"​ +
- +
-{{tbird_edit_account_settings.png|}} +
- +
-===Account Settings Box=== +
- +
-{{tbird_mich.png|}}  +
- +
-The actions are divided into areas of operation. The left side lists the accounts. The right side lists the settings +
----- +
- +
-===Add Account Wizaed=== +
-**N**ext select "​__A__dd Account"​ to bring up the wizard. +
- +
-{{tbird_account_wizard_pg1.png|}} +
- +
----- +
- +
-**I**n the next screen enter your real life name in the "​__Y__our Name" text box. And your email address that you want return mail to be sent to. Typically that would be //​yourname//​@sluug.org. +
- +
-{{tbird_account_wizard_pg2.png|}} +
----- +
- +
-**S**et the server information. Thunderbird is fully capable with IMAP which is newer and more convenient than POP. Put "​bud.sluug.org"​ in the "​Incoming __S__erver"​ +
- +
-References to the differences between POP and IMAP: +
- +
-[[http://​www.imap.org/​imap.vs.pop.brief.html|The IMAP Connection -- Comparing Two Approaches to Remote Mailbox Access: IMAP vs. POP]] +
- +
-[[http://​apps.carleton.ca/​web/​connect/​email/​vs_types.php|CCS -  Comparison: IMAP vs. POP]] +
- +
-Set the server to **bud.sluug.org**, ​all lower case. +
- +
-{{tbird_account_wizard_pg3.png|}} +
----- +
- +
-**Y**our username for sluug should go in both boxes +
- +
-{{tbird_account_wizard_pg4.png|}} +
- +
----- +
- +
-**N**ame the account something you can easily remember or leave it at the default (which is usually pretty ugly)  +
- +
-{{tbird_account_wizard_pg5.png|}} +
- +
-Now that the SLUUG account has been created see the following sections to fine tune it for SLUUG. +
- +
----- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-==== HTML ==== +
-To post to any of the SLUUG lists you should turn off HTML and not include attachments.  +
- +
-To set this for the SLUUG account select Edit | Account Settings just as you did in [[create_new_account]].  +
- +
-{{tbird_composition.png|}} +
- +
-Unselect the check box for "​__C__ompose Messages in HTML format"​ +
- +
-{{tbird_no_html.png|}} +
- +
- +
-If later you need to send a message in HTML, to include pictures in the message for example, from the drop downs select "​__M__essage | New __H__TML Message"​. +
- +
-{{tbird_to_html1.png|}} +
- +
----- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
- +
-==== SMTP Authentication ==== +
-With SMTP Authentication you have to send a name and password each time you send an email. Using SMTP Auth allows SLUUG to eliminate being used as a spam relay and still allow a SLUUG member to send mail through the SLUUG mail servers. Thunderbird ​will ask for your password when it is connects and will give you the option of saving the password so you don't need to enter it every time. +
- +
-===Account Settings Panel=== +
- +
-In order to send messages from your laptop wherever it may be you should turn on authentication. To do this select Edit | Account Settings just as you did in [[create_new_account]].  +
- +
-===Outgoing Server (SMTP)=== +
- +
-At the bottom of the left hand pane select "​Outgoing Server (SMTP)"​.  +
- +
-{{tbird_smtp_select_outgoing.png|}} +
- +
-===Outgoing Server (SMTP)Settings=== +
- +
-In the top right of the Account Settings panel select bud.sluug.org and click "​__E__dit"​ +
- +
-{{tbird_outgoing_server_settings.png|}} +
- +
-===Security and Authentication=== +
-In the "​Security and Authentication"​ frame select the check box for "​__U__se name and password"​. +
- +
-Enter your //​username//​ for sluug.org  +
- +
-Under **Use secure connection:​** select the checkbox for SS__L__ +
- +
-In the **Settings** frame, the port should change to __P__ort 465 +
- +
-{{tbird_sluug_ssl_465.png|tbird_bud.png|}} +
- +
-Select "​OK"​ to save.  +
- +
----- +
- +
-==== Secure IMAP ==== +
-Secure IMAP provides an encrypted connection from the server to the client using SSL. The advantage of this is that with the connection encrypted user name and passwords are also sent encrypted so are not open to a [[http://​en.wikipedia.org/​wiki/​Sniffer|sniffer]]. +
- +
-To enable this select Edit | Account Settings just as you did in [[create_new_account]]. +
  
-Select the "​Server Settings"​ under the SLUUG account. 
  
-{{tbird_secure_imap1.png|}}+[[Server Access|Server Access and Use]]
  
-In the top right hand corner of Account Settings, Server Settings will be displayed. +Accessing and using servers for shell commands, transferring files, web page maintenance,​ etc.
  
-In the "​Security Settings"​ frame select the check box for "​SS__L__"​ 
  
-{{tbird_secure_imap.png|}}+[[http://​www.sluug.org/​members/​personal_pages/​|Personal Pages]]
  
-Notice the Port setting has changed to 993 instead of 143.+Creating your own web pages using your SLUUG account.
