Configuring your mail reader

Line: 83 to 83

If your mail reader does not support SSL, use port 110 for POP3, port 143 for IMAP, and port 25 for SMTP.
Some sites block off port 25 with their firewall. As an alternative, you can try accessing the Nevis mail server via port 587.

If your mail reader supports TLS or SSL, use port 995 for POP3 and port 993 for IMAP. You can use the same ports for SMTP with or without SSL: 25 normally, 587 if a site has blocked port 25; the mail server can recognize when your mail program wants to use SSL and make the switch.
You can also use port 465 for SMTP+SSL. Try this if neither ports 25 nor 587 seem to work when sending mail via SSL (Outlook Express is an example).
No matter which ports you use with SSL, you have to bypass certificate validation. If you don't, you may get warning messages about how the Nevis certificate cannot be validated or trusted.

If you are using a non-Nevis mail server, connect to port 587 of that mail server. Our firewall blocks off port 25 to any other mail servers.
