- | **You can ONLY use SISSA WEBMAIL interfaces to manage:**\\ | ||
- | * **forward**; | ||
- | * **spam filters**; | ||
- | * **general filter rules**. | ||
- | More information on the [[services:e-mail_service:e-mail_filters-n|e-mail filters page]] | ||

- | \\ | ||
- | Here you can find some brief guidelines about setting your e-mail clients.\\ | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== OUTLOOK EXPRESS ===== | ||
- | To use SISSA e-mail services using Outlook Express, please read the instructions on the page:\\ | ||
- | [[services:e-mail_service:e-mail_clients:outlook_express:configuration|SISSA e-mail services using Outlook Express ]] | ||
- | |||
- | ---- | ||
- | ===== EVOLUTION Mail===== | ||
- | To use SISSA e-mail services using Evolution Mail, please read the instructions on the page:\\ | ||
- | [[services:e-mail_service:e-mail_clients:evolution:configuration|SISSA e-mail services using Evolution Mail]] | ||
- | |||
- | ---- | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Mail on Mac (leopard) ===== | ||
- | To use SISSA e-mail services using Mail on Mac (leopard), please read the instructions on the page:\\ | ||
- | [[services:e-mail_service:e-mail_clients:mac-mail:leopard:configuration-leopard|SISSA e-mail services using Mail on Mac (leopard)]] | ||
- | |||
- | ---- | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ===== ALPINE USERS on ssh.sissa.it ===== | ||
- | |||
- | Alpine will be forced to read e-mail using IMAP. So the first time alpine will ask you //**your SISSA username**// and //**your SISSA password**// and if you wish to " Preserve password on DISK for next login? " \\ | ||
- | Answer " **Y** " if you want to save it (encrypted) so you will not have to enter your password anymore using alpine. Your password, encrypted, will be put in the file** .pine.pwd** in your home directory. | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | === To see the e-mails in a folder: === | ||
- | |||
- | * select the folder using the arrows (for example //Sent// ); | ||
- | * type **<ENTER>**. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | === To see the contents of hierarchical folders: === | ||
- | |||
- | * select the folder using the arrows (for example //pippo[.]//); | ||
- | * type " **>** " (and NOT **<ENTER>** !!!); | ||
- | * then you can see the e-mails inside it and its sub-folders names. | ||
- | |||
- | To return to a higher level folder press the " **<** " key. | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | === To create new folders: === | ||
- | |||
- | * type " **L** " (ListFldrs) then type " **a** " (add); | ||
- | * alpine will ask you the **//new_foldername//**. | ||
- | If you now want a new sub-folder inside an existing folder (for example //pluto//), you have to type //pluto.newsubfoldername//\\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | Do not try to move a lot of e-mails (or a folder or a subfolder) using alpine, because you can move one e-mail at a time.\\ | ||
- | We suggest to use a grafic e-mail client (such as thuderbird, mozilla-mail....it depends on the software | ||
- | installed in your pc).\\ | ||
- | Using drag&drop (with the mouse) you can move the selected subfolder where do you prefer and it easy to move | ||
- | a group of selected mails in another place. \\ | ||
- | \\ | ||
- | |||
- | ===To display/hide the complete header=== | ||
- | To display/hide the complete header of an e-mail press " **h** ".\\ | ||

- | [[thunderbird:e-mail_clients:configuration|How to configure Thunderbird to use SISSA e-mail services (first part)]] | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | |||
- | ====If you have already used thunderbird==== | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | If you have already used thunderbird, please check the setting:\\ | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Go to the menu: **Account Settings** --> **Server Settings** \\ | ||
- | * (IMAP) //Server Name//: has to contain **imap.sissa.it** | ||
- | * enable the **secure SSL connection** (if you want to use port 993) or **TLS connection** (if you want to use port 143). | ||
- | |||
- | As outgoing SMTP server, go to the menu: **Account Settings** --> **Outgoing Server SMTP:**\\ | ||
- | * (SMTP) //Server Name:// has to contain **smtp.sissa.it** | ||
- | * Fill the //Port// field with **587** or **465** | ||
- | * check the box //Use Name and Password//, and fill the fields with //**your SISSA username**// | ||
- | * enable //Use secure connection// with **TLS** (if you want to use port 587) or **SSL** (if you want to use port 465). | ||

- | |||
- | ==== To know which is the path of your local e-mail folders ==== | ||
- | If you wish to check the path of your e-mail local folders, because (some examples): | ||
- | * you need to copy them on a CD later or | ||
- | * you want to be sure that they are saved in a useful area (not /scratch) on your laptop or in a subdirectory of your home directory: | ||
- | |||
- | Go to the menu: **Account Settings** -->** Local folders** -->** Local directory:**.............\\ | ||
- | |||
- | -------------------------------------------- | ||
- | |||
- | Note about Mozilla: The settings are the same as in thunderbird, for the IMAP and SMTP servers. | ||
- | |||
- | **To display the complete header of an e-mail**, open the message and then select from the menu **View** --> ** Headers** --> ** All**. \\ | ||

- | ===== MUTT ===== | ||
- | |||
- | With this configuration: | ||
- | |||
- | <code> | ||
- | set hostname=sissa.it | ||
- | set folder=imaps://imap.sissa.it/ | ||
- | set mail_check=30 | ||
- | set mbox=imaps://imap.sissa.it/INBOX | ||
- | set certificate_file=~/.mutt_cert | ||
- | set record=imaps://imap.sissa.it/Sent | ||
- | set spoolfile=imaps://imap.sissa.it/INBOX | ||
- | </code> | ||
- | |||
- | mutt will see folders AND sub-folders; when you run mutt you will see your INBOX e-mails and, to see the other folders, you must type " **c** " and then <TAB> to get a complete list. \\ | ||
- | In this list the folders with a " **+** " character will be hierarchical folders. | ||
- | |||
- | To visualize the e-mail inside the folders you have to type the <SPACE BAR> over the folder to access to it. You can access to the folder only if its name contains a " **+** ". | ||
- | |||
- | To create a new folder press a " **C** " from the folder list display. | ||
- | |||
- | To create the first subfolder (named for example //child//) of an already existing folder (named for example //parent//),\\ | ||
- | you have to create it as //parent.child// \\ | ||
- | When you access to the subfolder //child//, you can create other subfolders with their subfolder name only, without //parent.// \\ | ||
- | Mutt will set the right path for you. | ||
