Microsoft Outlook and Other Clients

Support for Microsoft Outlook will be phased in as part of the email and calendar migration taking place in 2012. Microsoft Outlook is included with Microsoft Office as part of the college's license agreement and is included in Office 2007 and Office 2010 for Windows computers and Office 2011 for Mac computers. Other e-mail clients may also work with the IC e-mail system. Please check the program's online help or Web resources for information about configuring Outlook and other clients.

These are the general settings for configuring an e-mail client:

  • Server Type: IMAP
  • Incoming Server (IMAP): icmail.ithaca.edu
  • Incoming Port: 993
  • Incoming Security: SSL
  • Outgoing Server (SMTP): icmail.ithaca.edu
  • Outgoing Port: 25 (or 587 for off campus or devices that are used both on and off campus)
  • Outgoing Security: TLS (SSL if no TLS option)
  • Outgoing Authentication: Username and Password

Thunderbird is the supported e-mail client for Windows computers and Apple Mail is the supported e-mail client for Macintosh computers.
