FAQ 5.


5. How do I configure outlook express, eudora, kmail or evolution mail for my MAILBOX on centralized EMAIL servers ?


These EMAIL AGENTs require two key configurations:

[a] Access to mails received: The mails received for you are located on the 

centralized IMAP server of IIT Bombay named imap.iitb.ac.in.


[b] Server which will accept your outgoing mails: Use smtp-auth.iitb.ac.in. Please 

enable AUTHENTICATION and TLS. You would require LDAP id and password to send

mail via this server. For more information click here.

-----------
Once its connected you can easily download/export your mails.

Correction - Outgoing server was smtp-auth.iitb.ac.in
Sorry for the typo.

There is no proxy authentication required for GPO e-mail account.
All you will need is to put in the following settings:

Incoming Mail Server : imap.iitb.ac.in
If you want to use SSL,
Connection security - SSL and port 993.
Else, Connection Security - None and port 143.
Authentication Type - Simple Password.

Outgoing Server: smpt-auth.iitb.ac.in
Port :25
Security Type - STARTTLS
Authentication Type  Simple Password

If you want to configure your department e-mail account too, just the incoming mail server would change. Almost everything else is the same including the outgoing server.

smtp-auth.iitb.ac.in works for everything.

I don't think that gmail/hotmail will work. IIRC, required ports are blocked.
