smtp | smtp.tilde.team | 587 | starttls |
smtps | smtp.tilde.team | 465 | tls |
note: these domains all resolve to the same IP of our main server.
alternate domains and addresses
because ~ben hoards domain names, you can use any of the domains on this list with your tildemail:
mail sent to yourusername@ any of those domains will end up in your inbox. most clients will allow you to add additional identities/aliases.
additionally, any address with a +
and arbitrary text behind it
will be forwarded to your email: ie. yourusername+somethingcool@tildeteam.org
.
plus-addresses are very useful for filtering mail.
outlook
For outlook, there's a specific setup - if you have to use it and prefer to not have multiple email clients, you can do this.
- Run
outlook.exe /manageprofiles
and make sure outlook is closed before hand - Now you should have a windows with three options, click
email accounts...
- Click on
New
in the first tab to create a new email account - Select manual setup or additional server types and then select
POP or IMAP
- Fill the servers in using the table. Not it won't work yet as we need to do some things.
- After entering the details on the page, select
More Settings
, go toOutgoing Server
and selectLog on using
and fill the username (without domain) and password - Then go into the
Advanced
tab and fill in the ports and connection types as per the table. Make sure all the ports are correct and clickok
and then finally clicknext
Everything should now be setup.
forwarding and sieve
if you would like your tildemail to be forwarded somewhere else, put that
email address in a file called ~/.forward
echo myotheraddress@example.com > ~/.forward
we also have sieve and managesieve support.
scripts belong in ~/sieve/
, with the active sieve script
named ~/.dovecot.sieve
(to conform with managesieve).
here are some example sieve scripts
managesieve is available on the default port (4190) if you want to use an external managesieve client (like the thunderbird add-on).
our webmail is pre-configured to manage your sieve scripts.
ask ~ben if you have any questions
