Mail Configuration
To use Programs such as Eudora, Outlook, etc, with the new psych mail server, the following configuration options are required.
Eudora users please note the "Secure Sockets when Receiving" setting, since in many cases it will already be set to the value that does not work.
| Receiving Mail | ||
| Option (with various names) | Value | Notes |
| Incoming Mail Server (POP server) (IMAP server) |
cyrus.psych.uiuc.edu | |
| IMAP vs. POP | Either will work | IMAP is preferred; it allows management of multiple folders on the server |
| IMAP Mailbox Location Prefix (Path to Folders) |
leave blank/empty | This must be blank, or you will not be able to read mail |
| Secure Sockets when Receiving |
Eudora Users: Required, Alternate Port Outlook:See Secure Sockets when Sending Others: Secure/STARTTLS/SSL |
The default Eudora setting of If Available, STARTTLS will NOT work due to a Eudora bug |
| Sending Mail | ||
| Option (with various names) | Value | Notes |
| Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP Server) |
On Campus: cyrus.psych.uiuc.edu Off Campus: Your IP provider's mail server, or use authentication (see SMTP AUTH below) |
If using Insightbb from home, use mail.insightbb.com |
| Secure Sockets when Sending | if available, STARTTLS Outlook Express: (highlight cyrus.psych.uiuc.edu at left): Properties/Advanced - Check "This server requires a secure connect (SSL)" for both incoming and outgoing |
The Eudora bug mentioned above does not apply to sending mail |
| Authenticate when sending mail (SMTP AUTH) | Allow Authentication (Eudora)/Authenticate if available Outlook Express: (highlight cyrus.psych.uiuc.edu at left): Properties/Servers/Outgoing Mail Server - Check "This server requires authentication"; Under Settings: Use same login/pwd as incoming mail server" |
Authentication when sending will allow sending mail from outside campus if using cyrus.psych.uiuc.edu as the outgoing server |
