Mail Server Settings and Email Client Configuration Guides

IT Services provides basic configuration documentation in order for staff to use other NON-SUPPORTED software (such as Outlook or Eudora). This documentation is not software-specific, however, merely providing the basic necessary information -- eg. ports, machine names, etc.

Such software will NOT be supported by IT Services. IT Services staff are only equipped to support staff using the Monash-customized Mozilla Thunderbird client.

General Settings (Mail-Client Independent)

Basic settings for any mail software are as follows:

  • username: you AuthCate username
  • IMAP: (incoming email) mail.monash.edu.au, port 993, use Secure Connection (SSL)
  • SMTP: (outgoing email) smtp.monash.edu.au, port 465, use Secure Connection (SSL)
  • Note: This setting will only work when connecting through Monash (at campus or via Monash modems, etc). When connecting using another Internet Service Provider, use their mail relay for your SMTP settings.

  • LDAP: (Monash Address Book) directory.monash.edu.au, port 389
    Base dn: "o=Monash University, c=AU"
