Configure an IMAP server

To configure an IMAP server

1. In the Name box, type the IMAP server name. The name entered here is arbitrary and used solely within CIC to identify this configured server.

2. In the Server box, type the FQDN or IP address of the IMAP server.

3. In the Port box, modify the default port number if necessary. The default TCP/IP port number used on most IMAP servers is 143 (non-SSL) or 993 (SSL) The port number on your IMAP server may vary.

4. Select the Supports PROXYAUTH check box if the IMAP server supports a non-standard extension to the IMAP4rev1 protocol called PROXYAUTH. The PROXYAUTH extension enables CIC to access users’ mailboxes without having to know their IMAP passwords. To use this extension, CIC must still be able to determine the users’ IMAP logon names (either via an IMAP user account file or via the LDAP server), and CIC must also be granted the necessary privileges on the IMAP server. Then enter the user name and password.  The values will depend on the configuration of the IMAP server.

5. Click OK.
