Most mail clients will make use of HTTPS or a combination of SMTP/SMTPS and IMAPS. If you are unsure if your mail client supports these protocols please check the manufacturer's website and/or manual for further information.
All protocols can be accessed using the webmail.medschl.cam.ac.uk address.
Please note that CSCS no longer supports POP as a protocol. If you have been using POP in the past you will need to reconfigure your mail client to use IMAPS. Outlook 2007 or older will also not be able to connect correctly, so it is recommended to upgrade to a newer version if you are an Outlook user.
