SMTP Setup Instructions

Our campus-wide smtp.uci.edu server has been decommissioned due to security concerns, and it is part of the ESMail migration, so sending emails from math.uci.edu, ess.uci.edu, chem.uci.edu, and physics.uci.edu is not working.

OIT supported smtp.uci.edu was retired as per the timeline in https://www.oit.uci.edu/org/projects/es-mail-retirement/#tabs|2 

We use @math.uci.edu for our example, but you will do the same steps for @ess.uci.edu, @physics.uci.edu, and @chem.uci.edu

FOR THUNDERBIRD/K9 MAIL APP:THUNDERBIRD:

Replace whatever you see in <> (including the <>) with your own information.

Your incoming mail server will be as follows:
Hostname/Server: psa.ps.uci.edu
Port: 993
Security: SSL/TLS
Authentication: Normal Password
Username: <The part of your email before the @>
