## Apple Mail configuration
WARNING: this configuration might not work, because Apple Mail
actually *requires* an IMAP server for proper operation. The
configuration below *may* work, but you will probably end up sending
email through the submission server with an incorrect "envelope
from", and this will necessarily lead to delivery problems.
These instructions are known to be good for OSX 14 (Sonoma). Earlier versions
of Apple Mail may not expose the same settings.
1. Click On "Account Information"
Before configuring the outgoing SMTP server, you need to have an existing email
account configured and working, which the steps below assume is the case.
* User Name: (your LDAP username, e.g. in my case it is `anarcat`, **without** the `@torproject.org` part)
* Password: the correct one.
* Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): `submission.torproject.org`
1. Open the "Accounts" settings dialog
2. Make sure that your SMTP server is set to `submission.torproject.org`
2. On the left-hand side, select the account to associate with your
`@torproject.org` address
Note for existing mail users: You will need to select “Add Server”
from the SMTP pull-down menu.
3. Add your `@torproject.org` address in the "Email Addresses" input field
3. If it is, select “Server Settings
4. Open the "Server Settings" tab
* For `Server Port`, put `465`
* Select `Use Secure Socket Layer (SSL)`
* Set `Authentication` to `Password`
* Now, enter your correct user name and your correct password.
* Select `OK`.
5. Click the "Outgoing Mail Account" drop-down menu and select "Edit SMTP
Server List"
If your client fails to connect in the above configuration, try
`STARTTLS` security on port `587` which is often open when port 465 is
blocked.
6. Click the "+" sign to create a new entry:
* Description: Tor Project Submission
* User Name: (your LDAP username, e.g. in my case it is `anarcat`, **without** the `@torproject.org` part)
* Password: the correct one.
* Host Name: `submission.torproject.org`
* Automatically manage connection settings: unchecked
* Port: 587
* Use TLS/SSL: checked
* Authentication: `Password`
7. Click OK, close the "Accounts" dialog
NOTE: as mentioned above, this whole guide needs to be redone, but at
least one user was able to add a new identity to an existing account
by following the path "Preferences - accounts - account information -
edit email address" in Apple Mail, so not all hope is lost yet?
8. Send a test email, ensuring to select your `@torproject.org` address is
selected in the `From:` field
