Client Configuration
In case you wish to use an alternative emailing program (such as Mozilla Thunderbird), here you can find all the information needed:
- e-mail address (standard suggestion): firstname.lastname@boku.ac.at
- Protocol: IMAP
- incoming mail server: imap.boku.ac.at
- user name: BOKU-Account Login
- password: BOKU-Account Password
- SSL: Port 993
- Protocol: POP3
- incoming mail server: gwpop.boku.ac.at
- user name: BOKU-Account Login
- password: BOKU-Account Password
- SSL: Port 995
- outgoing mail server: mailauth.boku.ac.at
- SMTP-auth: required
- STARTTLS: Port 25
In order to use GroupWise Clients these settings are not necessary - GroupWise offers many additional functions and is thus suggested for staff members.
please note: it might be necessary to use VPN in order to connect to imap.boku.ac.at depending on your region.
