The following is the information you will need to configure IUP’s incoming and outgoing mail server of graphical e-mail based clients like Thunderbird, or when setting up the account on a mobile phone or other mobile device.
| Outgoing Mail Server |
smtp.iup.edu |
| Outgoing Mail Server Port |
587 |
| Incoming Mail Server |
imap.iup.edu |
| Incoming Mail Server Port |
143 |
You must also modify the authentication settings to use SMTP authentication. To do this in Thunderbird:
- From the Menu bar, choose Tools, then Account Settings.
- Select Outgoing Server (SMTP).
- Select the server and press the Edit... button.
- For Connection security, select STARTTLS.
- For Authentication method, select Encrypted password.
- Enter your username (not your e-mail address).
- Click OK.
Thunderbird will ask you for your password the first time you send email and you can optionally save it at that time.
