Website/MailAccounts

For its Board of Trustees, The Document Foundation offers a communication service under the libreoffice.org domain. Currently, these are:


 * an e-mail address with a fully-featured IMAP account with shared folder options, alternatively an e-mail forwarder

Those services are provided free of charge to all members of The Document Foundation, and are made possible with the generous help of our supporters, whom we'd like to thank on behalf of the community! The professional e-mail accounts, supporting server-side filtering, shared folders and webmail access, are hosted by the mail server experts of Heinlein Support.

Application and Eligibility
The services are subject to a policy, available in German and as English translation.

Members will not automatically have their accounts created, but can have them setup by sending a simple e-mail. To do so, please write to [mailto:legal@documentfoundation.org legal@documentfoundation.org], stating that you accept the policy above. In the very same e-mail, please let us know which service(s) you would like to use, and the desired username. Shortly thereafter, we will confirm your account by e-mail. You can always have individual services enabled or disabled later on, as you see fit.

Here's an example message:

To: legal@documentfoundation.org Subject: libreoffice.org account for Lastname, Firstname I, Lastname, Firstname, hereby confirm that I have read and understood the policy for using libreoffice.org addresses at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/LibreOfficeAccountPolicy/de (English translation at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/TDF/LibreOfficeAccountPolicy) and accept it. I would like to have an e-mail account with a preferred username of "user123".

Note: Please replace Lastname, Firstname with your last and first name, and user123 with your desired username.

Setup guide
Find below the setup guide and configuration settings for the various services. Be advised that all services have different passwords for the respective accounts.

E-mail boxes and e-mail forwarders
For receiving e-mail, the IMAP protocol is used.
 * Hostname: mail.jpberlin.de
 * Username: yourname@libreoffice.org
 * Port: 993
 * Encryption: SSL

For sending e-mail, SMTP via the (secure) submission port is used.
 * Hostname: mail.jpberlin.de
 * Username: yourname@libreoffice.org
 * Port: 465
 * Encryption: SSL

Alternatively, you can use port 143 for IMAP and/or 587 for SMTP. In that case you'll also need to set the encryption option value to STARTTLS (it might be called just TLS on your system).

Per default, your account is configured as IMAP mailbox. You can configure it to forward messages to an existing address via the control panel as outlined below. '''Should you intend to send out mass mailings, please get in touch with us before. This needs separate approval from TDF, and a special server to be used in order to not get blocked automatically.'''

Webmail
You can also access your mail account via https://webmail.jpberlin.de/roundcube/. Use your full mail address (yourname@libreoffice.org) for the login. The webmail system also enables you to create server-side mail filtering using a Sieve script.

Note that you can NOT change your password via webmail. Instead, refer to the control panel as explained below.

Control panel
To access the configuration of your mailbox, including the option to forward your account to an existing e-mail address, or to change your password, please access the control panel at https://www.jpberlin.de/verwaltung/index.php?lang=en. Use your full mail address (yourname@libreoffice.org) for the login.
