Server settings and parameters
Your e-mail client (the mail program you use to read/write emails on your workstation) must use the following settings unless you decide to use a browser-based method, such as webmail, to read and send e-mail, that does not need any setting.
Mail delivery server: | smtp.sissa.it | SMTP server, this is your outgoing mail server |
Mail reading server: | imap.sissa.it | POP/IMAP server |
The SMTP server is usable outside the SISSA network with authentication over TLS/SSL encryption. Refer to page http://sis.sissa.it/services/e-mail_service/e-mail_clients_setup for setup you e-mail client.
About your folders
Please, note that all your e-mail folders are NOT in your home directory, but they are physically in the e-mail server and you can read them only via IMAP/POP protocol.
To reduce the cache limit of firefox/ mozilla
To reduce the space used, you can set your preferred browser to store 10mb of cache.
If you use firefox go to menu
Edit –> Preferences –> Advanced –> Network –> Cache –> Use up to 10Mb,
OR
Edit –> Preferences –> Advanced –> Privacy –>Cache –> Use up to 10Mb.
Remove the content of your .Trash (the subdirectory “ .Trash ” in your main directory).
Maximum size for an e-mail
The maximum size for an e-mail in text format is 25 Mb.
If your mail contains graphics or generally files, not
in text format, the mail server can increase your e-mail size, so we suggest to limit the size to 5 Mb.
