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.
