Encryption Settings
To increase mail safety the servers encrypt mail.
Under "Incoming Server" make sure to select "SSL" from the dropdown menu next to "Use the following type of
encrypted connection:" and make sure that the port is set to 993.
Under "Outgoing Server" set the type of connection to "Auto" and make sure the port is set to 25. However port
25 may not work outside the campus network and you won't be able to send mail. If this is the case, try ports 587,
465, or 336 as other options.
Click OK. When this window closes click "Next >"
