DigiPen Email: Access and Configuration
Treat email as if it were a permanent, public record; because it is as close as you will ever get. Always write formally and properly, always use complete and proper sentences, never say anything you might want to take back, never reveal any secrets, etc.
- DigiPen provides roundcube webmail services but we prefer users use email clients like Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird, and smart phone apps.
Your email client (Outlook or Thunderbird) will send outgoing mail to a SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server and fetch incoming mail from a IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) server. We do not support the old incoming mail protocol POP3, so be sure to choose IMAP when setting up your client. Some basic information you will need to configure any email client:
- Typically it is best to enter your full real name in the "Your Name" field.
- Your email account is your username.
- Your email address is username@digipen.edu.
- Our Incoming IMAP Server is '''imap.digipen.edu''' (Choose IMAP instead of POP3)
- Enable TLS, and "Accept all certificates", if those options are available.
- The preferred port is 143 which should be automatically chosen.
- Alternative Port is 993 if 143 doesn't work for your client.
- Our Outgoing SMTP Server is '''smtp.digipen.edu''' (You need to configure both IMAP and SMTP)
- Enable TLS, and "Accept all certificates", if those options are available.
- Preferred port is 587 rather than port 25
- Our Message Filter service is called Sieve which runs on the IMAP server (This is completely optional)
- Server: imap.digipen.edu, Port:4190, use imap Authentication, Enable use TLS
Webmail
This is the easiest way to access your email when no other email clients are available. Simply point your web browser at https://webmail.digipen.edu/. Please be aware that nearly any other email client such as Outlook, Thunderbird, or those on your smartphone or tablet are a better choice than using webmail. The webmail site has been running Horde since March 24th 2006 and as of Fall 2010, Roundcube has been offered as an additional option. Horde will no longer be provided in the very near future.
Roundcube
Roundcube is the preferred webmail application which will replace the older Horde in the very near future. Your emails will be available in all webmail applications - but please begin using the new Roundcube application as we will phase out the Horde application in the very near future. Roundcube is preferred for a number of reasons including it's more modern look and feel, support for ldap addressbook, support for Sieve message filters.
