CGHMN-Mail

When CGHMN first started attracting new users, it quickly became apparent that there would be a desire (if not outright need) for some baseline method of in-band communication

IE: There needed to be some way for users on the network to communicate with each other while on the network

The solution to this was CGHMN-Mail. An email service designed to vaguely mimic the functionality of sites like Hotmail or Yahoo.

Built atop a (largely) unmodified Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 system running in a Windows Server 2003 VM. CGHMN-Mail has become the "defacto" email server for a large chunk of the CGHMN network.

This server is specifically designed to be as easy to access as possible. Supporting POP3, IMAP, HTTP and Exchange (2003) services. Internet Explorer 3.0 and up compatibility is included to maximize web client compatibility.

Users can register for the mail server at http://cghmn-mail.retro/register and then log in with their client of choice.

For users interested in using mail clients such as Thunderbird or Outlook Express, the following settings can be used.

NOTE: IMAP is preferable to POP3 as it better integrates with using multiple email clients

IMAP/POP3 settings
