To set up Thunderbird e-mail for DTUs Exchange, use these settings:
Account Settings Account Name: your-initials@dtu.dk Your Name: your name Email address: your-initials@dtu.dk Server Settings Server Type: IMAP Mail Server Server Name: mail.dtu.dk Port: 993 User Name: your-initials Security Settings: Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal password Outgoing Server (STMP) Settings Description: DTU Compute Server Name: mail.dtu.dk Port: 587 Security and Authentication: Connection security: STARTTLS Authentication method: Normal password User Name: your-initials
SMTP send access:
To be able to send SMTP mail, The role must be added to your user in DTUbasen. Users at the department DTU Compute please contact itsupport@compute.dtu.dk
Other users should contact their local IT or student IT.
Extra:
To read an secondary mailbox using own credentials (i.e. typically a shared system mailbox), where sysadmin have granted access to, use the following for Server settings:
Server Type: IMAP Mail Server Server Name: mail.dtu.dk Port: 993 User Name: your-email\name-of-extra-account Security Settings: Connection security: SSL/TLS Authentication method: Normal passwordNotice the Username. It will look like abcd@dtu.dk\comp-itsupport where abcd@dtu.dk is your email and comp-itsupport is alias-name of the extra mailbox (sysadmin should inform about that).
