To receive CS e-mail, you must set your mail client to use Secure IMAP.
Configure the following settings on your mail client:
Server Name: pop.cs.jhu.edu
Port: 993
Security Settings: SSL (Checking SSL will probably automatically set the correct port number of 993 for you, depending upon your e-mail client.)
Also, you'll want to set your inbox to be cleaned of mail you marked for deletion. Different email clients handle this function differently.
For example, under Thunderbird, select:
Clean up ("Expunge" Inbox on Exit.)
The above should allow you to receive mail from the server. You'll be prompted for your Grad/Research net password as needed.
You now create new mail folders as part of your IMAP environment. For example, under Thunderbird, use the Subscribe menu option.
IMPORTANT: Please keep your inbox small. Remove e-mail that you no longer need, and file needed e-mails into mail folders.
