UOIT MyCampus Email in Thunderbird or Outlook

IT doesn't allow Auto Forwarding for MyCampus email. Consequently, I never check my MyCampus email. However, I recently found out from Zander that you can access MyCampus email using IMAP. So now I'm using Thunderbird! Here are the settings for your favourite Email Client:

Protocol: IMAP
Server: itsosims02.mycampus.ca
Port: 143 (standard one), and no SSL (no authentication)
Username: Your Student ID i.e. 100123456
Password: Your MyCampus password or your original MyCampus password if you changed it i.e. Your Birthdate MMDDYY

Thanks again to Zander and happy emailing.

Note: It appears that you can't send email when not on campus but you can receive email anywhere.
