UTHSC E-mail

Similar to many organizations UT uses outlook and exchange for their E-mail. Thanks to mobile support it is possible to work with email using other tools outside the UT network.

Prospect E-mail client

People have success using Prospect as an E-mail client. You can follow the instructions on the UT website that are similar to Android support.

Davmail IMAP bridge

An interesting solution is to create an IMAP bridge. It is a little slower, but can be set up! That way you can use your favorite E-mail tool (and filters!).

I have had success setting up davmail with the following settings and testing with thunderbird first:

apt install davmail openjfx thunderbird

Start davmail with

davmail -d

Stop davmail and edit the ~/.davmail.properties file with the following.

davmail.mode=O365Interactive
davmail.url=https://outlook.office365.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx
davmail.oauth.clientId=d3590ed6-52b3-4102-aeff-aad2292ab01c
davmail.enableOauth2=true
davmail.oauth.deviceCode=true
davmail.oauth.enableOauth2=true
davmail.oauth.redirectUri=urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob
davmail.oauth.tenantId=common
davmail.imapPort=1143
davmail.smtpPort=1025
davmail.logFilePath=/home/yours/.davmail/davmail.log
log4j.logger.httpclient.wire=DEBUG
log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG
log4j.logger.org.apache.http.wire=DEBUG

Restart davmail and point thunderbird to

IMAP Server: localhost:1143
SMTP Server: localhost:1025
Username: your-email@uthsc.edu

Note that you should set the UT password in the 2FA browser when it pops up. Do *not* set it in Thunderbird, also when it asks for it to send out SMTP.

When something fails make sure to track the log in ~/.davmail/davmail.log

Some useful links:

If someone can get the last one to work we won't even need davmail any more!
