Webmail
The easiest way to use mail on ithryn, or to check your mail on the road, use ithryn's webmail at http://mail.ithryn.net/. You may get an error about the certificate not being valid; however, your connection will still be private.
To get rid of the certificate warning, install one of the following certificates:
IMAPs (Incoming Mail)
We have recently discontinued POP support on Ithryn. IMAP keeps all your mail on the server, allowing you to check your mail from multiple locations.
In order to use ithryn to check your mail, your mail program must support SSL encryption.

SMTP (outgoing mail)
For SMTP, you have two options.
The recommended option is to use SMTPs on port 465. This is the only setup which works with Microsoft Outlook/Express, provides the most secure connection, and works with ISPs which block port 25.
The other option is to use SMTP on port 25 with Cram-MD5 authentication.
