## Email clients
Here we explain what to consider for individual e-mail programs. fairkom is giving support only for open source based e-mail clients. If you have problems with Outlook please contact your Microsoft support partner.
### Desktop: Thunderbird
As e-mail program for Windows or Linux we recommend Thunderbird, for this we have prepared the above settings for an automatic configuration.

If you need to move data, please do it manually (clean out the old IMAP folder and create archives in local folders, then move the rest to the new IMAP account).
The IMAP folders are: Inbox=Inbox, Sent=Sent, Trash=Trash.
The old Outlook was areal desktop software that allowed you to simply add an IMAP account.
The new Outlook is more or less a web client to a Cloud Service at Microsoft. If you add an additional (external) account, then you give Micorosft your password and also they will read the content of your mail. See this \[video\](https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=cX6rBoegaMg).
### Smartphones
You can also read emails on smartphones (Android, iPhone) or tablets. For Android we recommend the K9 Mail app.

You can also use the built-in mail program, for this you need to set up an `Exchange account` or `IMAP account` on Android. Alternatively you can disable the mail query for the Exchange account and use [K9 Mail](https://k9mail.app/) instead (set up IMAP account). Calendar and address book also works with the Exchange account or alternatively with DavX5.

## Forwarding & Out of Office Notification
In faircloud you have to activate the `SIEVE` server in the Mail App in the account settings (with default setting IMAP authentication on SIEVE port `4190`). Then an absence notification can be defined, the corresponding [SIEVE rule](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sieve) will be displayed as well.

## E-mail access blocked?
If someone wants to retrieve e-mails from a provider whose IP range is blocked, they can open the IMAP port if an e-mail (e.g. to themselves) is sent shortly beforehand (port-knocking) - provided the IP range is not also on an e-mail blacklist. We block some IP ranges if bot attacks frequently come from them.
If the problem persists, please create a support ticket at https://git.fairkom.net/hosting/support/-/issues stating your IP address. This can be found, for example, via fairsuch.net with the search term IP.
With some hotel or guest WLANs, the ports for e-mail are generally blocked; with some companies, e-mails can only be retrieved from the company's own server (firewall precaution).
So if only port 443 is open for the web, we recommend setting up the e-mail account in the faircloud and working via it while on the move.
