  • Host is the incoming email server. In the above example I am using Gmail and enter imap.gmail.com in the field.
  • Port is the connection point to the email server. Gmail uses IMAPS protocol and has a default port of 993. Here is a list of default email ports (can leave port as -1 if the port is the normal default port)

    titleeMail Servers and Posts

    Here is a list of default email ports:

    • POP3 - port 110
    • IMAP - port 143
    • Secure IMAP (IMAP4-SSL) - port 585
    • IMAP4 over SSL (IMAPS) - port 993
    • Secure POP3 (SSL-POP) - port 995
  • Display mail attribute in UI (2.1.1-M4+) - Set to display the user's 'mail' attribute rather than username+suffix in the UI.  Primarily useful in on-premise Exchange when username is needed for authentication but user's know themselves as the email address in LDAP or another source and it doesn't match username+suffix.
  • Inbox folder name is the name of your email's inbox. Most likely the name is INBOX. If this field is not populated or filled out incorrectly, the portlet will fail to render for the user.
  • Timeout and Connection Timeout can be left at -1.

  • Exchange Domain is the NTLM domain used to authenticate the accounts against
  • Host is either the autodiscover host or the EWS host. 
  • Autodiscover - set to true if the host entered is the hostname to initiate the autodiscover process with, false if the hostname is the host running EWS.  For outlook.com, you would set autodiscover=true and hostname=www.autodiscover.com and the correct EWS host will be found for each user account.
  • Host is either the autodiscover host or the EWS host. 
  • Username suffix is the suffix to append to the username to obtain an email account login id.  Useful if the username is obtained from the uPortal login; e.g. @usd.edu
  • Use mail attribute instead of username+suffix (2.1.1-M4+) - set to true primarily for Office365 when the 'mail' user attribute is more accurate than username+suffix.  This can happen when users get married or other events and their username is not as correct as the mail attribute email address.  If set for on-premise EWS the username part of the mail user attribute would be used for the userId instead of the username (not a common situation).
  • Inbox folder name is the name of your email's inbox. For EWS integrations most likely the name is Inbox (not INBOX). If this field is not populated or filled out incorrectly, the portlet will fail to render for the user.
