Basic IT setup instructions for MPI IS
The easiest way is to use the webmail interface at https://mailhost.tuebingen.mpg.de/
To configure your email client, please use the following settings:
- Incoming email server (IMAP): mailhost.tuebingen.mpg.de, port number 993, security: TLS/SSL
- Outgoing email server (SMTP): mailhost.tuebingen.mpg.de, port number 465, security TLS/SSL
Please be aware that our email server will block access for 10 minutes if you try a wrong password too often. For this reason try to avoid auto-configuration of your email program or wait 10 minutes after auto-configuration to continue.
