SSL/TLS Configuration for Oultook 2010

We have configured our email servers (SMTP,IMAP, and POP) to transfer email to and from your mail client using secure protocol, which encrypts your authentication codes and the email content.

There are actions required on your part for each email account that may be hosted on the Aerial Dynamics network. These are simple changes to be managed from within your email clients and/or Exchange server. You will NOT have to change your username or password for this migration.

MIGRATION:

These servers are currently running in tandem to the older protocol. We will be disabling the legacy system July 27, 2014, at 12 AM Pacific Time, We anticipate that all customer email client software, for each user account has been updated with the following configuration.

SHORT DESCRIPTION MAIL CLIENT CONFIGURATION EXAMPLE (SERVER & PORTS).

For POP Incoming Mail Server, make these changes:

1. Incoming Mail Server; secure.aerialdynamics.net
2. Select the checkbox, “Use SSL to connect”
3. Port setting; 995

For IMAP Incoming Mail Server, make these changes:

1. Incoming Mail Server; secure.aerialdynamics.net
2. Select the checkbox, “Use SSL to connect”
3. Port setting; 993
   

For SMTP Outgoing Mail Server, make these changes:

1. Outgoing Mail Server; secure.aerialdynamics.net
2. Select the checkbox, “Use SSL to connect”
3. Port setting; 465

Note: You may have the option to manually set a port by using the, “Override default port” checkbox, if your email client does not default to the specified ports list above.

AUTHENTICATION (USERNAME & PASSWORD)

This setting can be left to your previous setting which usually is, “Use incoming server info.”  This means that your mail client will authenticate by passing authentication codes to the server when you POP for mail. And if there is outbound mail queued for sending out, the server will authenticate using your POP username and password to send those items.

For a more detailed description on SSL/TLS email client configurations, read forward for details.
