To use the central university mail server with any common email application use the following settings:

You must enable authentication using username and password.

Outlook and Thunderbird can autoconfigure based on the email address.

For common e-mail applications you can find instructions (some in german) here:

Telekom has been blocking the sending of e-mail via SMTP for some time now, especially for DSL connections with a Speedport router.

To activate the SMTP servers of the University of Bremen (here examplary for the model Speedport W724V)

open the router configuration page: http://speedport.ip
enter the device password (located on the back of the router, unless it has been changed)
click on "Internet" in the top menu.
click on "List of secure e-mail servers" in the left menu.
add the following server names to the list:
smtp.uni-bremen.de
smtp.zfn.uni-bremen.de

Please also refer to the instructions for the Speedport W724V from page 86 onward.

If you have a different router model from Telekom for which this configuration does not work, please contact campusserverprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de.
