CalMail Conversion
After the transition to calmail, the imap server on math.berkeley.edu will continue to run until we have completed the migration of mail boxes. We recommend that you not delete your math email account settings from your mail client for a while after you have setup your Calmail account. The accounts will be separate in your mail client, which will easily keep track of both. Below are instructions on how to set up accounts both using the math department server and the Calmail server. Before you set up your Calmail account, go to the Calmail Web page to create your new password. See the FAQ on how to do this.
Email Configuration
Mac OS X 10.5
Apple's own mail client, called "Mail" or "Mail.app"
Open Mail. If this is the first time you've run Mail, you'll be prompted to add an account. If not, choose File -> Add Account...
Fill in the first screen with your appropriate details:
On the next screen, enter
- Account Type: IMAP
- Incoming Mail Server: mail.math.berkeley.edu (for your account using the math department server)
or
- Incoming Mail Server: calmail.berkeley.edu (for your account using the Calmail server)
File:OSX-Mail-Add Account-1.png
On the next screen, enter
- Outgoing Mail Server: mail.math.berkeley.edu (for your account using the math department server)
or
- Outgoing Mail server: calmail.berkeley.edu (for your account using the calmail server)

On the final screen, verify the details and create the account.

Lastly, you'll need to set your IMAP prefix. To do this, go to Mail -> Preferences... and select the "Accounts" tab. Choose your math account in the list on the left, and click on the "Advanced" tab. Enter:
- IMAP Path Prefix: Mail
(NB: While "Mail" is the recommended path prefix, if you've used IMAP before your path prefix may be different.)
(NB: You do not need to set this for your Calmail account.)
Close the preferences window, choosing to save your changes when prompted. Then restart Mail (by quitting and reopening it) to have your changes take effect.

Pine
Here one user got pine working on the math department servers:
The relevant parts of my .pinerc are:
smtp-server=mail.math.berkeley.edu:587/tls/user=bfroehle inbox-path={mail.math.berkeley.edu:993/novalidate-cert/ssl/user=bfroehle}INBOX folder-collections=Mail {mail.math.berkeley.edu:993/novalidate-cert/ssl/user=bfroehle}mail/[]-Brad
There is also a Calmail_alpine page.
mutt
Instructions for using mutt with IMAP for Calmail are on the Calmail_mutt page.
