Setting up Your nova.org Email

The basic information you need is this: Any time a program asks for a “mail server” (whether that is incoming, outgoing, or whatever), the answer is mailbox.nova.org. Any time you need a user name for email, it will always be your full email address (e.g., example@nova.org).

Incoming Server

  • Type: IMAP
  • Host Name: mailbox.nova.org
  • Port: 993
  • User name: your-email@nova.org
  • Password: your password
  • SSL or TLS must be enabled

Outgoing Server

  • Type: SMTP
  • Host Name: mailbox.nova.org
  • Port: 587
  • User name: your-email@nova.org
  • Password: your password
  • SSL or TLS must be enabled
  • Authentication must be enabled

Web Mail

Login to your Web Mail at: https://mailbox.nova.org/. From there you can do a few useful things:

  • Change your password
  • Send and receive mail
  • Edit mail filters (so messages can be filed in folders automatically based on things like who they’re from or their subject lines)
  • Turn the “vacation” program on and off (to automatically reply to emails)

How-To Guides

These how-to guides can help. Remember the server name is always mailbox.nova.org, not the server name shown in the guides. Your username is your email address, which *might* be @nova.org, or it might not be.
