Carleton uses an IMAP server (What is client? What is a server?), located at imap.carleton.edu, for receiving incoming mail. Unlike POP servers, which delete e-mail when it is download by an e-mail client, an IMAP server will only delete e-mail when explicitly told to do so by an e-mail client. This is a critical difference. If, for example, you download your e-mail from a POP server onto your home computer and then try to access your e-mail at a lab computer, you will find that it has all been deleted. The e-mail only exists on the first computer that downloaded it. Therefore, because Carleton students frequently access their e-mail from multiple computers, Carleton only uses an IMAP server. The disadvantage is that it is easy to use up your limited space (15,000 KB) in your inbox. For this reason, the SCIC recommends frequent movement of old messages through the creation and use of new mailboxes. This advice especially holds for messages with attachments.

Carleton purchases Mulberry for the use of its students, faculty, and staff, both on lab computers and on their personal computers. Mulberry can be downloaded at the software page. There are versions for both Windows and MacOS. The maker of Mulberry, Cyrusoft, also makes a Linux version, but Carleton does not currently purchase it.

Because Mulberry is installed on all public lab computers, many, if not most, Carleton students use it.

Because Mulberry is installed on all public lab computers, many, if not most, Carleton students use it. In addition, Mulberry is the only e-mail client the SCIC provides support for.

However, there are a number of alternatives available for use on non-lab computers. You should be able to use the same program (e.g. Mulbery, Eudora, or Mozilla Mail) that you are currently using to read Carleton email. This will likely involve changing some of the settings in your mail program. We have included instructions below for the most commonly used mail applications on campus. Faculty and staff who would like help making these changes on a college owned computer, just call your Computing Coordinator. We are happy to make the changes for you or to walk you through the process. These guides may also prove helpful when making changes to the settings of your personally owned computer.

However, there are a number of alternatives available for use on non-lab computers:

• Windows comes with Outlook Express, a richly featured e-mail client. However, due to past security problems in this software (which make it easier to be affected by malware), the SCIC does not recommend it. If you wish to use OutlookExpress nonetheless, remember to run Windows Update frequently.

• OS X comes with a light e-mail client called Mail. It is generally faster than Mulberry and includes some unique features, such as automatic address look-up through the online directory (for instructions, see the CarlMUG site). The SCIC approves the use of Mail.
• The Mozilla suite comes with an e-mail client. Additionally, the Mozilla Foundation makes a stand-alone browser called Thunderbird. The SCIC approves the use of both Mozilla Mail and Thunderbird.
• Windows comes with Outlook Express, a richly featured e-mail client. Due to security problems in this software (which make it easier to be affected by malware), the SCIC does not recommend or support it. If you wish to use OutlookExpress nonetheless, remember to run Windows Update and anti-virus software very frequently.

Any of these e-mail clients can be set up using the technical information below.

Your Carleton e-mail account has 15MB of space.

Your Carleton e-mail INBOX has 15MB of space. If your inbox fills this quota, please create new mailboxes and move messages to them.

You can check the size of your inbox by visiting the following page:

Carleton will never give out your e-mail address. Therefore, it is possible to never receive a spam e-mail at your Carleton address. Unfortunately, it is very easy for your e-mail address to fall into the hands of spammers. Unlike a Hotmail address, your Carleton address cannot easily be changed. Therefore, the SCIC recommends that you use a separate e-mail address for any activity that is likely to generate spam, such as filling out a form on a non-Carleton website. For more information, see the spam topic.
