2 Introduction This document contains information necessary to configure a standalone client such as MS Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird, or a smartphone such as Blackberry, iphone, or Android to connect to the CASS servers. Webmail First of all, if you don t already know, CASS is available via our webmail tool. To access it, go to in a browser such as internet explorer or firefox, enter the first part of your address (firstname.lastname) and your password. Settings Below are all of the details necessary to configure any client to connect to the CASS servers. Protocol (sometimes called account type): IMAP (POP3 will work too but is not recommended) Incoming mail server: mail.c-a-s-s.org Outgoing mail server: mail.c-a-s-s.org Username: your full address ex: firstname.lastname@c-a-s-s.org Password: your password (the same password you would use to connect to webmail) Incoming server requires authentication, (Username & Password) Outgoing server requires authentication, use the same settings as incoming mail server Incoming Server (SMTP) Port: 143 Outgoing Server (SMTP) Port: 587 Enable TLS encryption for both incoming and outgoing mail servers Forwarding Forwarding your CASS to another account is technically possible, but not encouraged as it is inherently less secure. However, it is possible if absolutely necessary. Unfortunately, at this time our systems do not support user-managed forwarding. In order to have your CASS address forwarded to another account, please contact CASS HR with your request.

3 Please note: Security requirements are still relevant, and your CASS must still be accessed via an encrypted connection whether or not you are getting it directly from CASS. If the provider you want your CASS forwarded to cannot meet these requirements, you cannot have your forwarded there.
