Use your Skynet ``username@skynet.ie`` and ``password`` to login.
### IMAP / SMTP settings
Use your full Skynet email ``username@skynet.ie`` and ``password``.
#### SMTP
Server: ``mail.skynet.ie``
Port: ``993``
Authentication Method: ``Normal Password``
Connection Security: ``SSL/TLS``
#### IMAP
Server: ``mail.skynet.ie``
Port: ``465``
Authentication Method: ``Normal Password``
Connection Security: ``SSL/TLS``
## Sieve Scripts
Sieve scripts allow you to sort and manage yer email in a programmatic way.
Recommended tool: <https://github.com/thsmi/sieve>
Small tutorial will follow later.
* Download and open the tool.
* Enter settings for skynet.
- Hostname: ``mail.skynet.ie``
- Port: ``4190``
- Username: ``username@skynet.ie``
* Hit Create.
* Hit Connect and enter your ``password``.
### ``.forwards`` replacement
Since we no longer support ``.forwards`` this is the sieve script counterpart.
It copies all incoming mail to the target address.
* Continuing from above
* Hit Create new script, enter a name and press edit.
* Enter code below. (You may also use the gui drag and drop builder to create the script)
```sieve
require "copy";
redirect :copy "sending_mail_to@example.ie";
```
* Save the script.
* Go back to the home tab and press activate on your newly created script. This will enable the forwarding
### Committee/Admins
There is an inbuilt sieve script that passes mail from committee/admin addresses into a folder in their Skynet inbox.
