Thunderbird	Apple Mail

Basic Instructions:

First, set your incoming and outgoing email servers to:

mail.math.fsu.edu

In the past, we used "math.fsu.edu" for these two settings. That is no longer the preferred method, so please update both email servers entries to be "mail.math.fsu.edu".

The remaining two settings are related to just the "outgoing email server", sometimes referred to as "SMTP server". You will need to turn on the option "password authentication for the mail server". This may look different for every client program but there is usually a checkbox to turn on SMTP authentication and a place near it where you will enter your normal FSU Math username and password.

Finally, you want to set up the outgoing email server to use a secure connection. There will typically be a check box where you can tell your mail program to use either SSL or TLS security.
