CS maintains its own email server complete with virus and spam filtering. When you receive a CS account, email is included. Your email address will be username@cs.iupui.edu. We support IMAP and SMTP connections over SSL as well as provide a webmail client. Users logged into pegasus.cs.iupui.edu can also use console programs like mutt and pine to access their email.

Launch the Account Wizard via File->New->Account. Use the following setting when configuring the account:

  • Type of incoming server: IMAP
  • Incoming mail server: imap.cs.iupui.edu
  • Outgoing mail server (SMTP): smtp.cs.iupui.edu

After the account is setup, go to Tools->Account Settings and make the following changes:

  • <Your CS Email Account> Settings: Under Server Settings->Use Secure Connection select SSL. The port number should change to 993.
  • SMTP: Edit the settings for your cs account. Under Security and Authentication select SSL. The port number should change to 465.

Note: When you go to read your email, you will receive a popup window about not being able to verify the security certificate. Accept the certificate to use it and receive your email. Select Accept this certificate permanently to prevent this popup in the future.

Create a new account via Tools->Account Setttings. Select the option at the bottom to manually configure your server settings and in the resulting window, select Internet E-mail. You will now be able to enter your information. This is the server information you will need to add:

Before selecting Next, choose More Settings. Go to the Advanced tab and make the following changes:


  • Incoming server: Select SSL for type of encryption. The port number should change to 993.
  • Outgoing server: Select SSL for type of encryption. You will need to manually change the port number to 465.


Once these changes have been made, hit Okay then Next.

[edit] How can I get Outlook to accept the security certificate automatically?

The CIS email server uses self-signed SSL certificates to provide encryption for incoming and outgoing email processing. In Outlook, you will receive a warning each time about not recognizing the Certificate Authority. To get Outlook to use these certificates automatically, you will need to import them.


For incoming messages (IMAP), do the following:


For outgoing messages (SMTP), do the following:
