General Email Setup Instructions
- Return Email Address
-
It is recommended that you use 'user@lib.ucdavis.edu' as your email address. Doing so will allow the systems department to better support you. Please see the migration instructions if you would like to move.
- Incoming Server
-
Email clients should use 'mail.lib.ucdavis.edu' as the incoming email server. Be sure to check the secure connection or SSL option.
- Outgoing Server
-
Email clients should use 'smtp.lib.ucdavis.edu' as the outgoing mail relay server. Be sure to check the secure connection or SSL option and use PLAIN as the authentication mechanism.
- IMAP Protocol
-
Use IMAP as the protocol to read your email.
- Secure Connections
-
IMAP and SMTP traffic must use SSL encryption. Ensure that you've installed the library's Certificate Authority (CA) certificate, which allows the library's SSL certificates to be recognized as valid.
