CalMail Conversion

Beware! This information will be outdated once the CalMail conversion occurs.

Email Configuration

Mac OS X 10.5

Mail

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

File:OSX-Mail-Add Account-1.png

On the next screen, enter

  • Outgoing Mail Server: mail.math.berkeley.edu

File:OSX-Mail-Add Account-2.png

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.)

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.

Here one user got pine working on the math department servers:

The relevant parts of my .pinerc are:
