Choosing an Email Program
Here are links to configuration information for various e-mail client programs, including some of the non-supported e-mail programs so that they can be configured correctly to use the IMAP mail service on the departmental file server.
For mail accounts on Nexus, refer to OUCS's Email Configuration pages.
If your email program is not listed here, the configuration details below should help.
Basic configuration information for any mail program used with the Physiology mail server is listed here
