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 also 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 is a client and not a server.

To obtain the IMAP server settings your Outlook client needs, the best people to ask are those whom you get your mail services from. If you're not quite sure how to reach them, try hunting for support information on the website where you signed up for your email service. If you are at a college or university, try speaking to a teacher. There's no point in contacting the SquirrelMail project team - we don't know which settings you need.
