oh mamma mia it's email time
Every South London account comes with an email address — yourusername@southlondon.cc. Log in using your favourite email client (I've tested it with Thunderbird, Geary and the Gmail app on Android), and it should work just fine (at least in theory, more on that below).
Webmail
We have an instance of alps set up at webmail.southlondon.cc. do keep in mind alps is kinda buggy, so you might want to use something else instead. (at some point i'll probably set up a rainloop instance too.)
Server Details
Right now, email clients won't detect the server details by default, so you're gonna need to type them out manually. Here they are:
- Incoming Server (IMAP):
mail.southlondon.cc- Requires SSL: Yes
- Port: 993
- Outgoing Server (SMTP):
mail.southlondon.cc- Requires SSL: Yes
- Requires TLS: Yes
- Port: 587
- Username: Your username, without the
@southlondon.ccat the end. - Password: Your shell password. (if you don't have one yet, set it with
passwd).
Some Warnings
- Please keep in mind that you are using a tilde admined by a dumbass, and the liklihood of me fucking something up in the future is fairly high. please for the love of god don't use this service for anything extra important
- At the moment all email is sent from a residential IP, which many email providers don't like and will likely mark your message as spam (or refuse to deliver it at all).
- This server uses the maddy email server, which is fairly new and therefore might be slightly rough around the edges.
