| - | ====General Outgoing Email Configuration==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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. | ||
| - | |||
| - | 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 username, 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.// | ||
| - | ====Thunderbird==== | ||
| - | ==Address Book=== | ||
| - | To set up your address book, go to** Edit -> Preferences**, **Composition** tab, **Addressing** tab. Click **Edit Directories**..., click **Add**: | ||
| - | * Name: ''Exchange'' | ||
| - | * Hostname: ''ldaps.olin.edu'' | ||
| - | * Base DN: ou=''people'',dc=''olin'',dc=''edu'' | ||
| - | * Port number: ''3269'' | ||
| - | * Bind DN: ''MILKYWAY''\[your username] | ||
| - | * Under the **advanced** tab, ensure that login method is set to **simple**. | ||
| - | |||
| - | Select **OK**, then check **Directory Server**: and select the **Exchange** address book. | ||
| - | ===Calendar=== | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Finally, you'll want the "Lightning" extension for Thunderbird. | ||
| - | * Next, install this extension: | ||
| - | |||
| - | [[https://addons.mozilla.org/af/thunderbird/addon/provider-for-microsoft-exchang/]] | ||
| - | * Make a new calendar, choose **Microsoft Exchange**, and type in a URL like the following: ''%%https://MILKYWAY\%%[your username here]@webmail.olin.edu/EWS/Exchange.asmx'' | ||
| - | |||
| - | ===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 below. | ||
| - | ==== POP/IMAP Settings ==== | ||
| - | |||
| - | == POP/SMTP configuration: == | ||

| - | * Incoming server: | ||
| - | * Type : IMAP | ||
| - | * Server name: ''outlook.office365.com'' | ||
| - | * Port: ''993'' | ||
