Configuring Email for Secure Connections
Only email clients with secure settings are able to use the rohan.sdsu.edu email server.
Unless configured to use secure (encrypted) protocols, email programs send your username, password, and email content as clear text that could possibly be intercepted by others, particularly on a wireless network. Check your email programs to make sure incomming (IMAP or POP) and outgoing (SMTP) servers are configured with secure settings:
Mail.sdsu.edu client email settings
- Use rohan.sdsu.edu for the email server. (SMTP and IMAP/POP)
- Use SSL port for IMAP (993) or POP (995).
- Use SSL port 465 for SMTP or
- Use TLS port 587 for SMTP (8025 is the alternate TLS port number)
Rohan Webmail uses HTTPS for security.
GMail's Get Mail From Other Accounts feature requires POP port 995 and SSL
