INFN e-mail configuration

We suggest Thunderbird as mail reader. .

You can connect to our mail server using the following parameters

>> incoming mail

server imap
server: imap.pd.infn.it
port: 993
secure connection: choose SSL (in some versions there is SSL/TLS)

server pop3
server: pop3.pd.infn.it
port: 995
secure connection: choose SSL (in some versions there is SSL/TLS)

>> outgoing mail


server: smtp.pd.infn.it
port: 587
secure connection: choose STARTTLS (in some versions there is TLS)
username and password: enabled

During configuration, be careful not to confuse username and e-mail address.


If you prefer a character interface you can use pine from lx.pd.infn.it, where no configuration is needed.
Otherwise, to use it from another machine, from [M]AIN MENU choose [S]etup, then [C]onfig and modify following settings:

Inbox path —-> {imap.pd.infn.it/SSL}INBOX
smtp-server —> smtp.pd.infn.it/novalidate-cert/submit/user=username/tls
