4. FAQ

4.1 How do I make Outlook talk to SquirrelMail?

The simple answer to that is: you don't.

SquirrelMail is a mail client, it talks to a mail server, fetches your mail, displays your mail, and does all the nitty gritty work for you. This is also the case with Outlook. It is a mail client. It talks to the mail server, fetches the mail, and does all the nitty gritty work for you. Outlook cannot talk to SquirrelMail because SquirrelMail itself is a client and not a server.

The best people to ask for the IMAP server settings your Outlook client needs, are those with whom you are getting your mail services from. If you're not quite sure, try hunting around the website you signed up on for support pages, or if you are at a college, or university, speak to a teacher. There's no point in contacting the SquirrelMail project team - the don't know the which settings you need.
