Introduction
The CSCS mail environment allows connections from a number of different mail clients and protocols that these clients may use to connect. The purpose of this page is to give an overview of the mail clients and protocols that you may wish to use to connect to the CSCS email servers, please note that CSCS staff are not always familiar with every mail client so advice and support may not always be possible.

CSCS does not mandate a specific set of mail clients and in theory any mail client that connects through a supported protocol (see below) should work. Your mail client should be under software support from the vendor/manufacturer so as to keep your system up-to-date and protected, so in general CSCS would advise using a modern, well-established mail client.
