Some tips for using Thunderbird e-mail (currently 3.05) with Dovecot IMAP server on ohm.bu.edu in the EDF:
Try not to let it create an account automatically... do it by hand. Important settings:
- Account name "username@…" (substitute your user name)
- IMAP Mail server
- Name: ohm.bu.edu Port: 143
- Security: STARTTLS (dont check "secure authentication")
- Under "Advanced:"
- IMAP server directory: "Mail/" (i.e.) must be your mail directory and end in "/"
- Do not check "Show only subscribed..."
- Do not check "Allow server to override..."
For the outgoing SMTP settings, these seem to work fine:
- Server name: physics.bu.edu
- Port: 2525
- Secure Authentication: No
- Connection Security: STARTTLS
