Configure Your Email Client Tutorials
(IMAP, POP and Outgoing (SMTP) Configuration with Encryption(SSL)



This is summary of the setting used in the following tutorials. To send mail from off campus via Queen's mail server, you need to use SMTP Authentication with SSL.

 

  • To use SSL for e-mail you need to configure your e-mail client to use the secure ports when sending and receiving e-mail.
  • For incoming e-mail (inbound) use: 
    • host: mail.queensu.ca, Encryption: SSL
    • If your email client is configured to use POP use port 995
    • If your email client is configured to use IMAP use port 993.
  • For outgoing email (SMTP or outbound) use:
    • host: mail.queensu.ca
    • port: 465
    • Encryption: SSL
    • SMTP Authentication: Password
  • Note: Your account is your NetID, not your your.name@queens.ca or netid@queensu.ca.
  • Choose your email client from the menu on the left.


Step-by-step instructions for configuring your E-mail client for Queen's E-mail is available below.

 

Note If your office is located at Kingston General Hospital (KGH) or Hotel Dieu Hospital (HDH): IMAP is not available on the KGH/HDH Networks, only POP configurations will work. Also KGH/HDH does not support  SSL Encryption and SMTP Authorization.
