Configuring your Email client for IMAP

To access your access your email via IMAP you must configure your email client to use SSL.

When configuring your server settings set your Server Name to be:

webmail.loni.ucla.edu

Set your User Name to be your LONI logon name, mine would be:

jtrout

Finally make sure that the secure connection has SSL checked and the default port is set to 993.

Configuring your Email client for POP

To access your access your email via IMAP you must configure your email client to use SSL.

When configuring your server settings set your Server Name to be:

webmail.loni.ucla.edu

Set your User Name to be your LONI logon name, mine would be:

jtrout

Finally make sure that the secure connection has SSL checked and the default port is set to 995.

If you need a step-by-step walkthrough check the links above. The setup is the same for POP as it is for IMAP. Remember to check the UCLA Server Name mail.ucla.edu to LONI’s Server Name webmail.loni.ucla.edu

Configuring your Email client for SMTP

SMTP also requires secure authentication; however, the method differs depending on the email client. If you are using outlook, outlook express or Mac's mail SSL will work.

*note if you are using Mac’s Mail program set the SSL authentication to password, do not leave it on the default which is Kerberos 5.

At this point the only other email client that has been tested is Thunderbird. Thunderbird's SSL does not work with Exchange so under Authentication use TLS not SSL. Make sure that the Server Name is webmail.loni.ucla.edu and your User Name is your LONI account name and everything should work fine.

*note Even though we have not tested other email clients they should work. However, you might have to play around with the configuration to make it work. Try SSL first and if that fails use TLS. Remember SMTP requires your username and password, so make sure not to leave those fields blank or you will not be able to send out emails. For help check out the step-by-step walkthroughs above.
