 ======Setup your Email Client for Olin Email====== ======Setup your Email Client for Olin Email======
 +  - Launch Outlook Application
 +  - Sign in with Olin Credentials
 +  - Set up Two-Factor Authentication
 +    *  [[configure_mfa|Two-Factor Authentication]]
 +====General Outgoing Email Configuration====
  
-====Outlook====  +If you are sending Olin email using a tool other than Microsoft ​Outlook ​or the [[https://outlook.office.com/​|Office ​365 web interface]], you will need to configure ​the "​outgoing mail server" ​or "​outgoing SMTP server"​ to use the Olin Office 365 configuration. These enhanced security requirements help to reduce ​the volume of spam flowing through email systems.
-This is the default configuration when using Outlook with an Exchange server +
-    * All Configurations: +
-      * Verify that your Exchange configuration is encrypting communication between Outlook and the Exchange server. +
-      * Within Outlook +
-        - Right click your Mailbox in the All Mail Folders window +
-        - Select **Properties** at the bottom of the popup menu +
-        - In the **General** tab, click the **Advanced** button at the bottom +
-        - Select the **Security** tab +
-        - Under the **Encryption** setting, select the **Encrypt data between Microsoft ​Office ​Outlook and Microsoft Exchange server** option +
-        - Click **OK** +
-        - Click **OK** +
-    * From campus: +
-      * If you login to your computer with your Olin network credentials, it uses that account automatically to retrieve and send email +
-    * From off campus: +
-      * If you login to your computer with your Olin network credentials,​ it uses that account automatically to retrieve and send email +
-      * Alternatively,​ you could configure ​your account as an IMAP or POP account as detailed below, however you will lose some of the advanced features provided by the Exchange MAPI connection+
  
-====Other Email Clients ​(POP/IMAP)====+Though the exact fields may be different in your email program, these are the general settings that are required: 
 + 
 +  * Outgoing SMTP server: **smtp.office365.com** 
 +  * Outgoing SMTP port: **587** (do not use 25 or 465) 
 +  * Use encryption: **TLS** 
 +  * SMTP server login: //use your Olin UPN, such as// **jstudent@olin.edu** 
 +  * SMTP server password: //use your Olin account password//​ 
 + 
 +//Using smtp.olin.edu or smtps.olin.edu for this configuration is no longer supported, and may stop working at any point.// 
 + 
 +**NOTE**: Once you finish configuring an Olin email using a tool other than Microsoft Outlook, **email HelpDesk**(helpdesk@olin.edu). IT needs to change an additional setting for two-factor authentication to work. 
 +====Thunderbird==== 
 +===Email=== 
 +  - Create a new account.  
 +  - Type in your ''​name'',​ ''​e-mail address'',​ and ''​password''​.  
 +    * Thunderbird will attempt to auto-detect some settings (you can stop this).  
 +    * Make sure the **Incoming mail** account is set to **IMAP** ​(vs. POP),  
 +  - Select **Manual setup...** and use the information from the **IMAP Settings** section below. 
 +===Address Book and Calendar=== 
 +To set up your address book or calendar, you will need to install a couple add-ons. Go to** Tools*** **-> Add-ons**, **Extensions** tab. Take note if there is an add-on named **Lightning** under **Manage Your Extensions**,​ you will need this later. Search for //tbsync//. In the new window click **+ Add to Thunderbird** to the right of the option **TbSync**. Thunderbird will download the add-on, then ask if you want to install it; click **Install**. Search for //exchange activesync//​ and follow the same instructions to install **Provider for Exchange ActiveSync**. If **Lightning** is not already installed, search for //​lightning//​ and follow the same instructions and install it. 
 + 
 +*//If you don't see the top bar that contains **Tools**, hit Alt//. 
 + 
 +To set up your Outlook account through TbSync, go to either **Tools -> Add-on Options -> TbSync** or **Tools -> Synchronization Settings (TbSync)**. At the bottom of the window go to **Account actions -> Add new account -> Exchange ActiveSync**,​ go to **Custom Configuration**,​ then fill out the requested fields: 
 + 
 +  * Account name: ''​Outlook''​ 
 +  * User name (email address): //Your UPN in the form of ''​jstudent@olin.edu''//​ 
 +  * Password: //Your Olin network password//​ 
 +  * Server address: ''​outlook.office365.com''​ 
 + 
 +Click **Add account**. In the **Synchronization status** tab, check to **Enable and synchronize this account**. This will bring up a list of what you can sync -- check **Contacts**,​ and check whatever calendars you want to access. At the bottom of the window, click **Synchronize now**. Wait for the status next to each option you checked to read OK, then close the window and restart Thunderbird.
