Email Tutorials - SSL and SMTP Configuration

 

Note:  If your office is located at Kingston General Hospital (KGH) or Hotel Dieu Hospital (HDH) do not use this documentation. KGH does not support  SSL and SMTP Authorization.

How do I configure my e-mail client to use SSL and SMTP Authentication?

  • 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.
