The following settings will be useful for the majority of modern mail clients such as Ximian Evolution, Outlook, Mozilla Mail, and Eudora.

Server type:	IMAP
Mail (incoming) server:	imap.phys.unsw.edu.au
SMTP (outgoing) server:	smtp.phys.unsw.edu.au (See NOTE)
Mail (incoming) server needs SSL?	Yes
SMTP (outgoing) server needs SSL?	No
SMTP (outgoing) server needs authentication?	No
Folder namespace:	INBOX
Shared folder namespace:	user
Username:	Your Physics Mail user name
E-mail address:	Your @unsw or @student.unsw address

NOTE: if you are not using the campus network please do not use smtp.phys.unsw.edu.au or smtp.unsw.edu.au as your SMTP server because both of these hosts refuse to relay mail for external networks. Contact your ISP and obtain the correct SMTP server for your network. UDUS users should use smtp.unsw.edu.au because it is not efficient to relay mail from the campus network via Physics.

Physics Mail protects you against virus e-mail. When a virus mail message is identified the following happens:

• The virus attachment is quarantined on the mail server
• A short note is sent to you advising that you were sent an e-mail virus.

Important points

Filter activation

To activate filtering, following this procedure:

IF any of Field name X-Spam-Flag contains YES THEN (.) File Into INBOX.Junk

Remember to click Save Rule and Logout.

Once you are comfortable that junk mail is being properly identified, you may decide to reject mail instead of filing it. This example shows how to reject mail that has been flagged as spam:

IF any of Field name X-Spam-Flag contains YES THEN (.) Reject Message is probably spam.

Remember to click Save Rule and Logout.

The 'spam level' is a series of asterisks added to the mail header. The number of asterisks corresponds to the 'hit point' number expressed as a rounded up integer. The higher the hit point the greater the number of asterisks and the greater the likelihood that the message is junk. To match more or less junk mail, use less or more asterisks. This example files junk-tagged mail with a hit point of 2.5 or greater into a folder:

[X] Use regular expressions IF any of Field name X-Spam-Level contains \\*\\*\\* THEN (.) File Into INBOX.Junk

Remember to click Save Rule and Logout.

Physics Mail Antivirus will add headers to virus advisory notifications to make filtering easier. This example files virus-tagged mail into your Junk folder:

IF any of Field name X-Virus-Flag contains YES THEN (.) File Into INBOX.Junk

Remember to click Save Rule and Logout.

One point of possible confusion is the INBOX. The INBOX represents the uppermost level of your IMAP account and therefore it is not possible to create folders above it. For example, some mail clients default to creating IMAP folders such as sent but this can not work; the correct mailbox path would be INBOX.sent. Here is one suggested layout for your IMAP folders:

INBOX	Where new mail arrives by default
INBOX.Read Items	Mail you have read
INBOX.Sent Items	Copies of mail you have sent
INBOX.Drafts	Mail you have postponed
INBOX.Trash	Transient deleted mail
INBOX.Junk	Junk mail

On other workstations that don't have the pine alias that defaults to Physics Mail you may have to use the -p PINE switch to access your Physics Mail IMAP account (in the following you may need to change $USER to your Physics Mail user name). Examples follow.

Bourne shell and derivatives example:

pine -p {imap.phys.unsw.edu.au/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=$USER}INBOX.pinerc

C shell and derivatives example:

pine -p "{imap.phys.unsw.edu.au/ssl/novalidate-cert/user=$USER}INBOX.pinerc"

For C shell and friends failing to include the double quotation marks will result in failure to save settings to (and read from) pinerc.

Physics Mail uses a dot (.) as the mailbox delimiter. This carries over into the PINE folder list and tends to confuse people. Here is an example to clarify the scheme:

INBOX	Contains mail messages
INBOX.	Contains folders

The above becomes clearer if you keep in mind that the IMAP server permits a folder to contain both messages and sub-folders---the dot folders are PINE's way of distinguishing between the messages and sub-folders parts of a single mail folder.

When you use PINE to read your IMAP mail you do not forgo the ability to access your UNIX account files and folders. From the PINE FOLDER LIST you should see two 'Folder-Collection' entries:

• Folder-Collection <Network>
• Folder-Collection <Mail>

The "Network" collection represents your IMAP account and the "Mail" collection represents your UNIX account ~/mail directory. The example below shows the sequence used to save a Physics Mail (IMAP) mail message to your UNIX account:

• Enter the FOLDER LIST (press the [L] key in the MAIN MENU)
• Navigate to the desired IMAP mail folder
• Use the cursor keys to highlight the message you wish to save to your UNIX account
• Press [S] (Save)
• Tap the [N] key while holding down the [Ctrl] key (Next folder collection)
• You will see the PINE prompt change to something like this:

  SAVE Msg #6 to folder in <Mail> [{imap.phys...c}INBOX.Read] :

• Type a filename and then press the [Enter] key
• Press the [Y] key when prompted as follows:

  Folder "filename" in <Mail> doesn't exists. Create?

Here is a practical example of local and remote folder collection use in PINE. There are a couple of steps involved and some of the PINE features used are intended for the more advanced user.

• Press the [L] key from the MAIN MENU to enter the FOLDER LIST
• If need be, press the [A] key while in Folder-Collection <Network> to add folders to receive the messages you wish to copy
• Cursor down to the UNIX account folders below Folder-Collection <Mail>
• For each UNIX account folder perform the following checklist:

• Press the Enter key to enter the folder
• Tag all messages: In the MESSAGE INDEX press the [;] key followed by the [A] key
• Save tagged messages: press the [A] key followed by the [S] key
• Select a destination folder: at the SAVE Msg prompt hold down the [Ctrl] key and then tap the [T] key
• Navigate to the IMAP folder into which you wish to save the tagged messages
• Press the Enter key twice and the messages will be copied to the selected Physics Mail folder
• To purge the copied messages now marked as "deleted" in the local folder: press the [X] key folder and respond to the confirmation prompt
