ARCHIVED: At IU, in Netscape 6.x, how do I read my Cyrus mail using IMAP?
On March 1, 2008, AOL ended official development of and support for Netscape software. If you use Netscape, consider using Internet Explorer or switching to Mozilla programs such as Firefox, Thunderbird, or SeaMonkey. UITS no longer supports any version of Netscape.
To configure Netscape 6.x to read your Cyrus mail at Indiana University using IMAP:
- From the menu, click to start the Account Wizard.
- Select the radio button, and then click .
- In the field next to "Your Name:", enter your name as you would like it to appear.
- In the "Email Address:" field, enter your IU email address, and
click
If you are unsure of your exact IU email address, see Your IU email address.
.
- Under "Incoming Server", select the
imap.iu.edu
. radio button,
and in the "Server Name:" field, enter -
In the "Outgoing" or "SMTP" server field, type:
mail-relay.iu.edu
Click
.If you have already configured accounts in Netscape, the SMTP server will already be selected for you in this step. To change it, you will need to complete the account setup; then, from the menu, select , and in the pane on the left, select . Then fill in the server information on the right and click .

To read your mail, select the name of the account you created and enter your Network ID passphrase. You may have to quit and restart the program for all changes to take effect.
Note: The IU SMTP server requires authentication to send mail. Because there is no setting for this in Netscape 6.x, when you send mail, Netscape will prompt you to enter your username and passphrase. Once you do, your mail message will be sent.
