Issue/Question
- How do I send email from a POP or IMAP email client?
- How do I send email from the Mac Mail app?
- How do I send email from Thunderbird?
Environment
- Oregon State University
- Email
- POP, IMAP
Explanation
In the past, OSU POP and IMAP users configured their email clients to send mail through mail.oregonstate.edu. As of 9/18/2020, customers need to configure their email clients to send mail via Office365's mail servers, or Gmail's mail servers.
These instructions generally only apply to customers using email clients such as Mac Mail, Thunderbird, or Outlook in IMAP mode.
Resolution
Use Office365 SMTP Server
- Configure the following in your email client's outgoing mail (SMTP) server settings:
- Outgoing Mail Server: smtp.office365.com
- Port: 587
- Connection Security/SSL: STARTTLS
- Authentication: Normal Password
- When prompted to login, enter your username@oregonstate.edu
