2. Email

You can send and receive email using your PAMI account. Your email address takes the following form:

You can read your e-mail using any of the following methods:

  1. Using a web browser, go to http://pami.uwaterloo.ca/horde/ and enter your username and password to login. Other functions are available through this web interface. If you prefer a more secure way of accessing your email over the web, you can use this link instead https://pami.uwaterloo.ca/horde/ (This is a secure HTTPS link, so you should not worry about sending your password over the Internet.)

  2. Using a Windows email client like Outlook, Outlook Express, Eudora, Netscape Messenger, or Mozilla Thunderbird. The settings to access your e-mail are as follows:

    • Incoming Mail Server (POP or IMAP): pami.uwaterloo.ca

    • Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): pami.uwaterloo.ca

      (please make sure you specify to your mail client that the SMTP server requires authentication)

      Note

      This outgoing mail server address will work only on-campus. If you are off-campus, you need to set the outgoing mail server to your ISP's outgoing mail server (for Bell Sympatico this should be smtp1.sympatico.ca, for Rogers this should be just smtp). This is to prevent spammers from using our mail servers to relay their spam.

  3. Using the UNIX email client pine. You need to remotely login to one of the Solaris machines using telnet, ssh, or rlogin, and run pine at the command prompt. We have a terminal emulator program installed called PuTTY. You can run it from this location:

    \\pami-xeon\software\tools\putty.exe
