Email

• Reading e-mail from anywhere, using a browser:

Structural Bioinformatics & Computational Biophysics
Choose server: math-imap
Use unix userid and password.
Can be used everywhere. No need for SecureID. No need to define incoming or outgoing mail servers.
Folders are saved in the Unix home directory in the mail directory.
This is compatible with Pine.

• Reading e-mail from Unix/Linux, using a command line:

  1. Pine

     All Unix/Linux machines have pine. You can view attachements with pine only if their format is recognized by Unix.
     In order to use pine from outside WIS you need a SecureID.
     A telnet window is OK.

  2. Thunderbird 

     You can learn about Thunderbird in:
     Introduction to Thunderbird
     incoming mail server: imap.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il
     outgoing mail server: narkis.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il
     You can use narkis.wisdom.weizmann.ac.il ONLY if you are on Weizmann's net.
     It is VERY important to use ONLY one mailer at the same time, otherwise
     the Inbox can be destroyed. Do not leave a mailer open.

        Click on the Login button.
