-The UTK Tmail system has it's own setup requirements and OIT provides their own documentation for setup.  You can find OIT's documentation by visiting [[http://oit.utk.edu]] and searching for "IMAP".
+UTK email is handled through Microsoft's Exchange Web Services.  UT only offers support for a handful of email readers: Outlook (Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android), Gmail (Android), and Evolution (Linux).
-**Old Information:**
+For Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android, instructions for setup can be found here:

-^  UT NetID:|//Your UTK NetID is assigned by UTK OIT Staff//|
-^  UTK Email Address:|<//Your UTK NetID//>@tennessee.edu|
-**NOTE:** The UT SMTP server has been closed to prevent abuse by spammers.  Use the NIMBioS SMTP server settings in place of the UT SMTP settings, or use the outgoing SMTP server provided by your personal ISP.
+For Evolution on Linux, setup instructions can be found here:
+[[https://help.utk.edu/kb/index.php?func=show&e=2847]]
+In theory any email client that supports Microsoft's Exchange Web Services will work.
