SSL Email

In about a week or so, ITS will start requiring SSL for incoming mail connections. This could have the potential to disrupt people's use of email.

Starting mid-October, if your mail program (Outlook, Thunderbird, Mail, Eudora, etc) is not configured to use the SSL protocol, you will not be able to check your email.

The SSL protocol makes sure that mail transfers in an encrypted session. This feature has been available as an option for some time at NYU. For many reasons, ITS is moving to require the use of SSL encrypted sessions for incoming email.

For those who have not yet updated their mail programs should do so promptly if they wish to use email without interruption. You can read the instructions for configuring your email to use the SSL protocol from NYU / ITS. You can also learn more about the SSL protocol and how it works (also known as the Gory Details document).
