Configuring webmail

Webmail is largely ready to go but you must first set a valid From: address for your outgoing e-mails. This is configured under Manage, Webmail preferences, Compose. Note that not everything on the management screen is currently configured/working. However, Addressbook does work and is well worth setting up eg. from an Outlook or Thunderbird CSV file - see help on the addressbook page

Reading e-mail using IMAP

E-mail can be read using secure IMAP (that is IMAP over SSL), or if you have a shell account, via PINE. You will need to configure your mail client as follows:

• Connect to the server slice.eddylangley.net.
• Tell is to use a secure connection (SSL) - if it asks for a port to connect to use the default port 993.
• When prompted by your mail client you will need a username and password. The username is a plain username (e.g. "eddy") and not of the form eddy@somedomain

Sending e-mail using SMTP

As well as accepting mail for domains hosted here, authenticated users can send outgoing e-mail to anywhere. Configure mail clients as follows:

• Connect to server named slice.eddylangley.net on port 465 (this is a mail submission port - the more usual port 25 is also likely to work)
• Use TLS (Transport Layer Security), or whatever your client calls "Use secure connection". NB Not called SSL but sometimes called SSL/TLS
• Configure client to use a username and password - without which your mail will not be accepted
