We run our own mail servers under the bx.psu.edu domain. Everyone who has a BX account can make use of the BX mail system. Your BX email address is <your username>@bx.psu.edu.
Incoming mail for the domain is handled by a cluster of mail servers which make use of a separate cluster of antispam/antivirus scanning systems.
Mail that is "delivered locally" is delivered into your BX AFS home directory under the Maildir/ directory.

Accessing your BX Email
There are four ways to access your BX email.
Note: We NO LONGER support the POP protocol for mail access. Any resonably modern email client should support IMAP.
IMAP
Currently, the only mail-specific protocol we support is IMAP.
General Settings
- IMAP Server (Incoming): imap.bx.psu.edu, port 993 with SSL
- SMTP Server (Outgoing): smtp.bx.psu.edu, port 587 (submission), Authentication with TLS
Mail client settings
Webmail
There are two webmail systems available -
- SquirrellMail, which is a lightweight webmail system
- Horde/IMP, which is a full-featured webmail system with LDAP address book integration, among other useful features. This is the recommended webmail system, as it is currently clustered and set up to be as HA (highly available) as possible.
Both systems can be found by simply going to webmail.bx.psu.edu and selecting which one to use.
Forwarding your mail
todo
Mailing Lists
We run several public and public mailing lists. For more information, please see the Mailman list page.
