For College of Engineering email services (including services we provide for groups such as CNSI and ICB):

INCOMING SERVER
---------------
Server name: imap.engr.ucsb.edu
Protocol: imap
Port: 143

You must also enable TLS security for your connection to the incoming mail server. Do not enable "use secure authentication" as TLS ensures the connection is secure.


OUTGOING SERVER
---------------
Server name: smtp.engr.ucsb.edu
Port: 587

You must also enable both TLS security and "use name and password" for your connection to the outgoing mail server.

We primarily provide support for the Thunderbird email program, which can be found here: www.mozilla.com.
You must use version 1.5.0.7 or higher. The above settings may not be all available during the default account "wizard" setup; you may need to set them afterwards under "Tools -> Account Settings"
If you are using some email program other than thunderbird, please consult your program's documentation for making the above settings.

If you are in the Computer Science department and using the Computer Science email server, please see this information rather than the above: http://www.cs.ucsb.edu/facilities/faq.
