IMAP

For reasons of robustness and reliability, we only support IMAP for accessing CS email. IMAP mail messages are stored on a central server, thus can be accessed from different computers at different locations, without having to move the messages between those machines.

Configuring IMAP

  • To use IMAP, you must configure your mail reader.
  • To filter IMAP mail, you must use sieve.
  • On our Linux machines, you can upload mbox files to the IMAP server with /opt/techstaff/bin/mbox2imap
  • You can download IMAP mail into a mbox file with programs such as fetchmail
