To configure your mail client to send and receive mail using our mail server, these are the settings you'll want to use or change from the defaults:

• Username: your email address, e.g. username@example.org
• Hostname: mail.maleficarum.org (aka Incoming and Outgoing Server)
• Account Type or Protocol: IMAP
• Security settings: Incoming SSL/TLS Outgoing STARTTLS

Samsung users on newer versions of Android OS might be interested in this issue if they experience problems with background sync.

As an example, to set up a new account with K-9 Mail on Android, back out to the Accounts view and tap the big + sign at the bottom. This will present you with this dialog, which we've filled in with an example:

Note that your email address is your username.

Choose IMAP here.

Regardless of your email address, the IMAP server is "mail.maleficarum.org". Again, the Username field is your email address. Security is SSL/TLS.

Technical Note: Aliases for other mail servers exist, so you can specify "mail.example.org" as your IMAP server. However, SSL certificates are issued for mail.maleficarum.org, so any other hostname will fail.

Note that Security is set to STARTTLS. The SMTP server is again configured to be "mail.maleficarum.org". As above, your Username is your email address.

That's it! You're good to go.
