We are in the process of changing mail servers and this may cause some disruption in service. If it does try the following.

1. Logon to herens, run
maildirmake ~/Maildir
2. Create new “account” in your e-mail software. Type is IMAP, incoming server
is mail.nmrfam.wisc.edu, outgoing server is mail.nmrfam.wisc.edu.
(To read mail from home, check “SSL” box in incoming server setup. Your
software will complain about SSL certificate on the first connection, ignore
it: the certificate is OK.)
3. Let Milo or Dimitri know you’ve set it all up and are ready to switch.
4. Control your spam with  Spamassassin
